The following are the ages of students:14,17,15,19,20,19,12,16,22. what is the median

 

Answer:

The median is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ages of students:14,17,15,19,20,19,12,16,22

Asked: Median

Formula:

Md = (N + 1) nth score

            2

Solution:

If the given numbers are not arranged in ascending order we need to arrange it. After arranging it, count how many items are there and then substitute it to N.

14,17,15,19,20,19,12,16,22

12,14, 15, 16,17,19,19,20,22

Md = (N + 1)

            2

Md = (9+ 1)

            2

     = ( 10)

            2

= 5 nth score

Md = 17

Therefore, the median is 17.
