Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Median--

Median is the central tendency of the data and always exist in the middle of the data set.

The process of finding the median if the number of data points are even is as follows:

• Put the numbers or the data points in the order(increasing or decreasing i.e. ascending or descending order)

• Next cross of the high/ low pairs

• Add the left over numbers

• and divide the number( as obtained in above step by 2)

( if the number of data pints were even then we just need to arrange the numbers and cross the high/low pair and only one data point will be left which act as Median of data set)
