Question

The runs scored by some players of a cricket team in a one day match are given below:
$83$, $40$, $36$, $0$, $69$, $105$, $73$, $21$, $8$ Find the median runs

• A. $39$ runs
• B. $52$ runs
• C. $40$ runs
• D. None of these
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C $40$ runs

Runs scored by players are:
$83$, $40$, $36$, $0$, $69$, $105$, $73$, $21$, $8$
Arranging them in ascending order:
$0,8,21,36,40,69,73,83,105$
The number of players are $9$, the median will be the middle most number, i.e. $5^{th}$ term.
Hence, median is $40$ runs
