Introduction

Recall the concept of mean we studied yesterday. Similarily, Median, by definition,

is the ‘middle point’ of any group of numbers.
In other words, the median is the point from where there are an equal number of
values on either side. For an odd number of values, the median can be found by
lining them in increasing order and selecting the value in the middle.

Time/min In the case of even number of values, there will be two numbers in the middle. In
20 mins those circumstances, the median can be found by adding both the values and
dividing the sum by two.

Example: Find the median of the series: 5, 7, 23, 12, 29, 33, 18.
A: Arranging the values in ascending order- 5, 7, 12, 18, 23, 29, 33

The median of the series is 18. (Because 18 is in the middle; there are three values
on its right and three values on its left.)

  Find the median of 23, 25, 29, 30, 39.

Solution: The given values are already in the ascending order. No. of
observations N = 5. This is an odd number.
So the median = [(𝑛 + 1)2]𝑡ℎ term =[5+1]/2 =3rd term=29
= 3 rd term =29.
∴ Median = 29.

 Find the median of 26, 25, 29, 23, 25, 29, 30, 25, 28, 30.
Solution: Arranging the observations in the ascending order, we get
23, 25, 25, 25, 26, 28, 29, 29, 30, 30.
N = No. of observations = 10, an even integer
Median = average of (N/2)th and (n/2 +1)th term
=average of 5th and 6th terms= average of 26 and 28 = (26 + 28)/2=27

 Calculate the median of the following table:

Variable ( x) 5 10 15 20 25 30
Frequency( f ) 3 6 10 8 2 3

solution:

Cumulative
x f
frequency
5 3 3
10 6 9
15 10 19
20 8 27
25 2 29
30 3 32

Total frequency = N = Σf = 32 and so N/2 = 16.

The median is the [N/2]th value = 16th value. But the 16th value occurs in the
class whose cumulative frequency is 19. The corresponding value of the variate is
15.
Hence, the median = 15
