The heights of students are given in cm as 161, 190, 185, 163, 172, 180, 162. The median height of the student is:

131 172 170 180

172

Arrange the data in ascending order = 161, 162, 163, 172, 180, 185, 190 If n = 7 (odd) Median =\(\frac{(N + 1)}{2}\)th term  =\(\frac{(7 + 1)}{2}\)th term  = \(\frac{(8)}{2}\)th term = 4th  = 172 cm
