Question

Let the median of $21$ observations is $40.$ 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 or left side of the median, there won't be any change in the median value.

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