Find the median of the following observations.
6, 49, 14, 46, 16, 42, 26, 32, 28
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 28
The median is the middle value once the observations are arranged in order. For an odd number \(n\) of observations it is the \(\frac{n+1}{2}\)th value.
In ascending order: 6, 14, 16, 26, 28, 32, 42, 46, 49
\(n=9\), so the median is the \(\frac{9+1}{2}=5\)th value
The 5th value is 28
