Find the median of the following numbers—

19, 25, 59, 48, 35, 31, 30, 32, 51

If 25 is replaced by 52, then find the new median.

Firstly, we’ll arrange the numbers in ascending order -

19, 25, 30, 31, 32, 35, 48, 51, 59

Now, since there are 9 no.s and n = 9 is odd

⇒ Median = 32

If 25 is replaced by 52 then series will become -

19, 52, 59, 48, 35, 31, 30, 32, 51
