Question

What is the median of the following set?

28, 45, 12, 34, 36, 45, 19, 20

28
34
31
35

Answer 1

Median = 31

Explanation:

The median is the middle number which comes after arranging the set in ascending order.

Here, the given data is: 28, 45, 12, 34, 36, 45, 19, 20

The data arranged in the ascending order is as follows:

12, 19, 20, 28, 34, 36, 45, 45

Since the number of terms is even, we have two middle numbers, viz.,

28 and 34

The median would be the average of these two.

Therefore, Median =
`$ (28 + 34)/(2) $`

= 31

The answer is 31.
