Question:

Find the median of the following data:

42, 19, 46, 17, 8, 35, 26, 39, 29

Options:

8

46

29

35

Correct Answer:

29

Explanation:

Rearranging the data in increasing order: 8, 17, 19, 26, 29, 35, 39, 42, 46

Number of observations = 9

Thus, median = (n+1)/2 observation = (9+1)/2 = 5th observation = 29

The correct answer is Option (3) → 29
