Question

The median of the number $84,78,54,56,68,22,34,45,39,54$ is:

• A. $45$
• B. $54$
• C. $49.5$
• D. $56$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$54$

Find the median of the data:

The middle value of the a given set of data when arranged in a sorted way of ascending or descending manner.

When the given set of data has even number of reading then the median is the mean of $\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)thand\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)th$ term.

Arranging the data in ascending order we get, $22,34,39,45,54,54,56,68,78,84$

As, there are $10$ numbers, the median is $5thand6th$ term.

Median $=\frac{54+54}{2}$

$=54$

Hence, option (b) is correct.
