Problem 608

Find the median of the following set of numbers.

52, 25, 55, 51, 67, 59

Solution:-

First arrange the values in ascending order which is given bellow

25, 51, 52, 55 , 59, 67

When the number of values of even then medain =avarge of $\frac{n}{2}$ th term and ( $\frac{n}{2}$ )+1 th term

Where n=number of terms

So here medain= $\frac{[\frac{6}{2}+(\frac{6}{2}+1)]}{2}=\frac{(3 rd term+4 th term)}{2}$

3 rd term is 52

4 th term is 55

Median= $\frac{(52+55)}{2}$ = $53\tfrac{1}{2}$
