In the first 9 matches of a cricket tournament, the wickets taken by Jumpo are as follows:
3 2 0 1 3 0 5 1 4
Find the median of the number of wickets taken by Jumpo?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 2
The median is the middle value once the data are arranged in order. With 9 values, the middle one is the \(\frac{9+1}{2}=5\)th.
In ascending order: 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5
The 5th value is 2, so the median is 2 wickets
