Find the median of the given mentioned observation 15,20,45,30,60,36.
Find the median of the given mentioned observation 15,20,45,30,60,36.
The correct option is B 33
Median is the
middle most value of a series. So when the series has odd number of elements
then median can be calculated easily but when the series has even number of
elements then the series has two middle values, so median is calculated by
taking out the average of both the value.
The series is
first arranged into either ascending or descending order. The formula to calculate
median = (N+1) /2 th term of the series where N is the number of observation in
the series.
The given series
is first arranged into ascending; 15,20,30,36,45,60.
N= 6
median=
(6+1)/2 th term = 7/2 th term = 3.5 th term
= ( value of 3rd term + value of 4th term)/2
= (30+36) /2 = 66/2 =33
