Question

Find the median of 5, 3, 1, – 4, 6, 7, 0.

Answer 1

The given observations are 5, 3, 1,-4, 6,7,0. 

Writing the observations in ascending order, we have – 4, 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7. 

There are 7 observations. 

Hence the median will be ( \(\frac{7+1}{2}\) )^th observation i.e., 4^th observation. 

The 4^th observation is 3. 

Hence, the median is 3.
