Question

The ages (in years) of 10 teachers in a school are
32, 44, 53, 47, 37, 54, 34, 36, 40, 50.
Find the median age.

Answer 1

ANSWER:
Arranging the ages (in years) in ascending order, we have:
32, 34, 36, 37, 40, 44, 47, 50, 53, 54
Here, n is 10, which is an even number.
Thus, we have:

Median= Mean of 5th & 6th observations
$=\frac{37+54}{2}$
Hence, the median age is 42 years.
