Answer: D
\(n = 8\)
∴ Median \(= \cfrac{1}{2} (\text{4th term} + \text{5th term})\)
\(= \cfrac{1}{2} (26 + 27) = \cfrac{53}{2} = 26.5\)
If \(29\) is removed, then \(n = 7\)
Now, the median would be the 4th term \(= 26\)
∴ The decrease in the median \(= (26.5 - 26) = 0.5\).
\(n = 8\)
∴ Median \(= \cfrac{1}{2} (\text{4th term} + \text{5th term})\)
\(= \cfrac{1}{2} (26 + 27) = \cfrac{53}{2} = 26.5\)
If \(29\) is removed, then \(n = 7\)
Now, the median would be the 4th term \(= 26\)
∴ The decrease in the median \(= (26.5 - 26) = 0.5\).
