Question

Find the value of y from the following observations if these are already arranged in ascending order. The Median is 63. 55, 59, y, 65, 68

• A. 54
• B. 61
• C. 68
• D. 75

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 61

As the number of observations made is odd, so the median will be the middle term, i.e. y + 2. Therefore, y + 2 = 63 y = 63 – 2 = 61
