The median of the data set 10, 12, 14, 18, 15, 200, 100, 20, 22, 24 will be —

Q.The median of the data set 10, 12, 14, 18, 15, 200, 100, 20, 22, 24 will be — (a) 19 (b) 21 (c) 23 (d) 50

Answer: A

Arranging the numbers in ascending order: 10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 100, 200 Here, \(n = 10\) \(\therefore\) Median = \(\cfrac{1}{2}\)(5th term + 6th term) \(= \cfrac{1}{2}(18 + 20) = \cfrac{38}{2} = 19\)
