$12$, $22$, $32$, $41$, $26$, $30$, $14$, $11$, $18$, $35$. Find the median marks

• A. $24$ marks
• B. $28$ marks
• C. $32$ marks
• D. None of these
  

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$24$ marks

Marks obtained by $10$ students in the test:
$12$, $22$, $32$, $41$, $26$, $30$, $14$, $11$, $18$, $35$
Arranging the marks in ascending order:
$11,12,14,18,22,26,30,32,35,41$
Since, the number of students are $10$, median will be the mean of two middle terms
Median $=$ mean of $5^{th}$ term and $6^{th}$ term
Median $=\frac{22+26}{2}$
Median $=24$ marks
