For unorganized data, median is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending order.

Let's proceed ~

In ascending order :

12, 13, 23, 26, 26, 35, 38, 44, 47

So, for given data... median is 26

Given:

  • 13, 26, 35, 44, 38, 12, 47, 23, 26

To find:

  • The median of the given data set.

Solution:

  • Median is middle number of the given data set, or from the given numbers.

Let's start!

First, we'll have to arrange the given values in either ascending or descending order.

Here I'm arranging in ascending order to make it easier.

12, 13, 23, 26, 26, 35, 38, 44, 47

Now, we'll have to find the value in the middle.

12, 13, 23, 26, 26, 35, 38, 44, 47

26 is the middle number when we cut off numbers equally from the left and right.


\large\boxed{\bold{Median= 26}}

Therefore, the median of the given data set is 26
