Find the median of the following data.
15, 6, 16, 8, 22, 21, 9, 18, 25
Given:
15, 6, 16, 8, 22, 21, 9, 18, 25
To do:
We have to find the median of the given data.
Solution:
We know that,
Median $= \frac{1}{2}[\frac{n}{2}th\ term+(\frac{n}{2}+1)th\ term]$ (when $n$ is even)
$=\frac{n+1}{2}th\ term$ (when $n$ is odd)
Arranging the given data in ascending order, we get,
$6, 8, 9, 15, 16, 18, 21, 22, 25$
Here,
$n =9 $ which is odd
Therefore,
Median $= \frac{9+1}{2}th\ term$
$= \frac{10}{2}$th term
$= 5$th term
$= 16$
