Answer 1

Given:

The salary's are 32023 ,21983, 27507, 43702, 38850, 25997.

Required:

Find median.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest.

So, sorted data is as:

`21983,25997,27507,32023,38850,43702`

The median is average of two middle terms in case of even counts of data.

So,

`\begin{gathered} Median=(27507+32023)/(2) \\ Median=(59530)/(2) \\ Median=29765 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The median is 29765.
