Find the median of the set of data: 61, 40, 65, 48, 64, 57, 64, 42, 56, 55

56.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given set of data :  61, 40, 65, 48, 64, 57, 64, 42, 56, 55

To find : median of the set of data: 61, 40, 65, 48, 64, 57, 64, 42, 56, 55

Solution :

In order to find median, we will first arrange data in ascending order (i.e, from smallest to largest number ).

In ascending order, terms are as follows:

40, 42, 48, 55, 56, 57, 61, 64, 64, 65

Number of terms (n) = 10

Here, number of terms is even .

We know that if number of terms is even then median is calculated as follows:
