The heights of students are given in cm as 161, 190, 185, 163, 172, 180, 162. The median height of the student is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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
