Question

In a cricket tournament, the total runs scored by 10 batsmen are:-

212, 134, 101, 89, 45, 121, 323, 202, 76, 87

The median of this data is

___.

Answer 1

To obtain the median of a given set of data, we have to arrange the data in ascending or descending order. After arranging in descending order, we get
45, 76, 87, 89, 101, 121, 134, 202, 212, 323.
Here, we have even number of observations i.e. n = 10. So, we will obtain the median by taking the mean of the value of $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ observation i.e. $\frac{101+121}{2}=111$
