Question:

What is the median of 7, 18, 6, 9, 4, 15, 21, 14, 26?

Options:

14.5

14

15

16

Correct Answer:

14

Explanation:

Ascending order = 4, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15, 18, 21, 26

Since, number of terms are odd (9)

⇒ Median = \(\frac{(Number of terms + 1)}{2}\)

⇒ Median = \(\frac{10}{2}\) = 5th term

⇒ Median = 14
