Q12 of 33 Page 156

Find the median of the data; 3.3, 3.5, 3.1, 3.7, 3.2, 3.8

For finding median, first we arrange data either in ascending or descending order,

3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, 3.8


No of terms (n) = 6


As, n is even


Median is arithmetic mean of term and term.


⇒ Median is arithmetic mean of 3rd and 4th term.


⇒ Median


⇒ Median = 3.5
