Question

Find the median of:
32, 37, 43, 49, 52, 54, 66, 67, 72, 78

• A. 51
• B. 53
• C. 55
• D. 57

Answer 1

The correct option is B

53

Given data is already in ascending order
32, 37, 43, 49, 52, 54, 66, 67, 72, 78
Number of terms = 10 (even number of terms)
$Median=\text{Average of the}{5}^{th}and{6}^{th}term$.
= $\frac{5^{th}term+6^{th}term}{2}$
= $\frac{52+54}{2}=53$
Thus, median of the given data is 53.
