Question

Find the median of the following data set.

12 65 3 8 23 64 19 53 0 24 57 15 39

• A. 19
• B. 23
• C. 24
• D. 39

Answer 1

The correct option is B 23

After arranging the data in ascending order, we get:

0, 3, 8, 12, 15, 19, 23, 24, 39, 53, 57, 64, 65.

Here, n = 13 = Odd
$Median=\frac{(n+1)}{2}{}^{th}$ observation

$=\frac{(13+1)}{2}$
$=7^{th}observation$
$=23$

Therefore, median of the given data is 23.
