Question

Find the median of the following data.
2, 5, 4, 6, 11, 10, 8

• A. 4
• B. 3
• C. 2
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is D

6

On arranging the given terms in ascending order of magnitude, we get
2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11
Since no. of terms = n = 7 (odd)
If n is odd:
Median $={\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)}^{th}\text{term}$
$\therefore$ Median $={\left(\frac{7+1}{2}\right)}^{th}\text{term}={\left(\frac{8}{2}\right)}^{th}\text{term}=4^{th}term=6$
