155, 160, 144, 149, 150, 147, 152, 144, 148

Find the median height (in cm).

Options:

150

144

148

149

Correct Answer:

149

Explanation:

Given data is :- 155, 160, 144, 149, 150, 147, 152, 144, 148

In ascending order :- 144, 144, 147, 148, 149, 150, 152, 155, 160

Total no. of students = 9

In case of odd numbers ,

Median = ( \(\frac{n + 1 }{2}\) )th term

= ( \(\frac{9 + 1 }{2}\) )th term 

= 5th term

i.e. 149

The correct answer is Option (4) → 149
