Median:
Median is
the middle most value in the raw data.
Example 1: 2,5,4,6,9,8,4 find the median of
the given data.
Solution:
Step 1:
arrange in ascending order: 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9
Step 2: the
total number of elements: n = 7
Step 3: if
n is odd:
The median is (n+1)/2 term
8/2 = 4th term in the data: 5 is
the median
Example 2: 2,5,4,6,9,8,4,9 find the median of
the given data.
Solution:
Step 1:
arrange in ascending order: 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 9
Step 2: the
total number of elements: n = 8
Step 3: if
n is odd:
The median is (n+1)/2 term
If n is even:
The median is n/2 and (n/2) + 1 terms average.
8/2 = 4
4th and 5th terms
average: (5+6)/2 = 5.5 is
the median
Median of Grouped data is:
