Question:

Find the median of the data:  17, 23, 1, 52, 11, 11, 31, 34, 26, 9, 56, 64, 2, 1

Options:

22

20

24

25

Correct Answer:

20

Explanation:

Given data: 17, 23, 1, 52, 11, 11, 31, 34, 26, 9, 56, 64, 2, 1

Now, arrange the data in ascending order, we get:

1, 1, 2, 9, 11, 11, 17, 23, 26, 31, 34, 52, 56, 64

Here, the number of observations is 14, which is even

Thus, median = \(\frac{ 7th + 8th }{2}\)

Median = \(\frac{ 17 + 23 }{2}\)

Median = 20.
