Question

Find the median of the data: $32,30,28,31,22,26,27,21$

Answer 1

Arranging in descending order, we obtain $32,31,30,28,27,26,22,21$.
There are $8$ terms. Therefore, median is the average of the two middle terms, middle terms, which are $27$ and $28$. Thus the median is $\frac{(27+28)}{2}=27.5$.
