Please help

the height ( in cm) of 12 players of a team are as follows : 160,150,158,159,160,160,162,165,166,167,170,175 find the median height of the team.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

160,150,158,159,160,160,162,165,166,167,170,175

Write the 12 numbers in ascending order:

150, 158, 159, 160, 160, 160, 162, 165, 166, 167, 170, 175

We need the middle number but there is no middle number:

150, 158, 159, 160, 160, 160, 162, 165, 166, 167, 170, 175

We have split the numbers into 2 even amounts and there is no number in the middle so we take the middle 2 number and find there average:

150, 158, 159, 160, 160, 160, 162, 165, 166, 167, 170, 175

Average of 160 and 162
`=(160+162)/(2) =161`.

SOLUTION: Median is 161cm.
