Question

There are 96 students in a class and are arranged according to weight from lowest to highest. What are the median terms of the weight distribution?

• A. ${48}^{th}$ term.
• B. ${50}^{th}$ term
• C. ${48}^{th}$ and ${49}^{th}$ term
• D. ${49}^{th}$ and ${50}^{th}$ term

Answer 1

The correct option is C ${48}^{th}$ and ${49}^{th}$ term

For an even number of terms,
the middle/median terms are $\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)$${}^{th}$ and $(\frac{n}{2}+1)$${}^{th}$.
Here n is 96.
On substituting value of n, we get ${48}^{th}$ and ${49}^{th}$ terms.
