Question

A cricket player scored runs in different matches as follows.
36, 41, 57, 89, 105, 103, 16. Find the median.

Answer 1

On arranging the scores in ascending order, we get:
17, 36, 41, 57, 89, 103, 105
Here,
n =7
Thus, we have:
$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Median}=\left({\displaystyle \frac{n+1}{2}}\right)\mathrm{th}\mathrm{term} \\ =\left(\frac{8}{2}\right)\mathrm{th}\mathrm{term} \\ =4\mathrm{th}\mathrm{term} \\ =57 \end{gathered}$$
