Find the median from the following data :
36, 72, 49, 45, 60, 33, 52, 61 and 72
Answer: A
The median is 52.
Arrange the nine values in order:
33, 36, 45, 49, 52, 60, 61, 72, 72
With an odd number of values (9), the median is the middle one, the 5th, which is 52.
49 is the 4th value and 60 the 6th, so choosing either means miscounting the position. 61 is what you get by taking the 5th value of the unsorted list without arranging it first.
