Answer 2

Here there are total ten numbers (even)

So these are the steps we follow:

Step 1:

Arrange the numbers in ascending order.

252, 210, 264, 278, 208, 295, 248, 257, 284, 271

Ascending order is : 208, 210, 248, 252, 257, 264, 271, 278, 284, 295

Step 2:

Find the middle two numbers.

The middle two numbers are 257 and 264.

Step 3:

Find average of these two numbers.

Average = (257+264)/2 = 260.5

Answer : Median is 260.5
