If the extreme observations on both the ends of a data arranged in ascending order are removed, the median gets affected. Say true or false
Define median.
The median is defined as the middle value of a sorted list of numbers. The middle number is found by ordering the numbers. The numbers are ordered in ascending order. Once the numbers are ordered, the middle number is called the median of the given data set.
When the given data is arranged in order, then the middlemost observation is the median of the data and if we remove two observations from the data, the middle number remains the same.
Hence, If the extreme observations on both the ends of a data arranged in ascending order are removed, the median is not affected.
Thus, the given statement is false.
