Find the median of 18, 3, 13, 8, 9, 11, 14 and 9. |
8.5 10 12.5 13 |
10 |
Arranging the given data in the ascending order: 3, 8, 9, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 15 Total numbers (n) = 8 (i.e. even), Therefore, we have two middle values: (\(\frac{n}{2}\))th and (\(\frac{n}{2}\) + 1)th observations. That is (4th and 5th observations): 9 & 11 Thus, Median of data = Average of 9 and 11 = \(\frac{9 + 11}{2}\) = \(\frac{20}{2}\) = 10 |
