Problem 430

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

3 rd term is 52

4 th term is 55

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