Question

What is the median of : 8,19,3335,27,51,31,2

Answer 1

The median would be 27.

The median of a data set is the middle number in the set. Therefore, if you want to calculate the median of a data set you must first order the values from least to greatest. Then find the middle number and that is the median.

2, 8, 19, 27, 31, 51, 3335

Answer 2

Median is the central value of an arranged data.

So, first step is to arrange the given data in ascending order. So, it can be arrange as,

2,8, 19, 27, 31, 51,3335

There are total 7 data. Hence, n=7.

The central position will be
`(n+1)/(2)`.

=
`(7+1)/(2)`

=4

So, the median lies at the 4th position. 27 is there at the 4th position. So,

Median = 27
