The masses of 10
coconuts in kilograms were recorded as follows:
5, 8, 4, 3, 1, 6, 7,
2, 5, 8 1, and 1. Calculate the median of these data.
Solution
Arrange the data in
order of magnitude starting with the smallest.
1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ,5, 6, 7, 8,
8.
There are ten data so
far. We get the two data in the middle which are 4 and 5.
Median can be
calculated by finding the average of the two middle values.
So, median = 4+
5
2
= 4.5
Hence median is 4.5.

The masses of 10
coconuts in kilograms were recorded as follows:15, 10, 9, 8, 8, 13, 14,
13, 11, and 12. Calculate the median of these data.
