Question

A cricket player scored runs in different matches as follows.
$36,41,57,89,105,103,17$. Find the median.

• A. $41$
• B. $57$
• C. $89$
• D. $103$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $57$

The data points are: $36,41,57,89,105,103,17$
Arranging in ascending order: $17,36,41,57,89,103,105$
The number of observations are $7$. Since, the observations are odd, the median will be the $\frac{n+1}{2}$ observations
median $=\frac{7+1}{2}$ observations
median $=4^{th}$ observations
median $=57$
