Question

Given the following list of data, find the median.

17,12,35,21,2,4,13,32,20,15

Give your answer as a number only. For example, if you found the median was 20, you would enter 20.

Answer 1

For finding median, first arrange the data in ascending order and find the median using median formula below:

When n = even

When n = odd

For given problem, the data in ascending order is as follows

2, 4, 12, 13, 15, 17, 20, 21, 32, 35

Here

n = 10 ( even)

The formula for finding median is,

So,

= 16

The median is 16.
