Question

The weights of \(14\) children (in kg) are given below. Find the median weight of the children (in kg). \[ 47,\;39,\;46,\;32,\;50,\;43,\;44,\;45,\;37,\;36,\;48,\;42,\;41,\;40 \]

• A. \(42.0\)
• B. \(42.5\)
• C. \(43.0\)
• D. \(43.5\)

Hint:

For an even number of observations, \[ \boxed{ \text{Median} = \frac{\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)^{\text{th}} + \left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)^{\text{th}}}{2} } \] after arranging the data in ascending order.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
