Question

If the median of $21$ observations is $40$ and if the observations greater than the median are increased by $6$ then the median of new data will be

• A. $40$
• B. $46$
• C. $46+\frac{40}{21}$
• D. $46-\frac{40}{21}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $40$

As we know median is the middle value, so if we change the values to the right side of median, there won't be any change in the median.

So median of new data is not affected.

Hence, new median is same as old median i.e $40$
