Question

What is the median of 4, 2, 7, 3, 10, 9, 13?

• A. 6
• B. 8
• C. 9
• D. 7

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 7

Given data: 4, 2, 7, 3, 10, 9, 13 First, arrange the given data in ascending order. I.e., 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 13 So, the number of observations is 7. (n= 7) Since the number of observations is odd, the median can be calculated as follows: Median = [(n +1)/2]th term Median = [(7 +1)/2]th term Median = [(8)/2]th term Median = 4th term = 7
