What is the median of the data set given below 26 39 18 2124
What is the median of the data set given below? 26. 39. 18. 21,24.48,21.35 29 25 21 26
Solution
Median is that value which lies at the middle of the set of data after arranging in any of the descending or ascending order.
The sorted data is 18, 21 , 21 , 24 , 26 , 35 , 39 , 48
So here we have two points at the middle one is 24 and another one is 26.
Standard procedure isto take average of these two so the median is 25 although it is not present .
So correct option is B.
