Calculate the median of the data.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 16.
Given that
The runs scored by 11 players are 7, 16, 121, 51, 101, 81, 1, 16, 9, 11, 16
Concept used
Step 1 : Arrange the data points from smallest to largest.
Step 2 : If the number of data points is odd, the median is the middle data point in the list.
Or If the number of data points is even, the median is the average of the two middle data points in the list.
Calculation
Step 1:- 1, 7, 9, 11,16, 16, 16, 51, 81, 101, 121
The number of data is 11 i.e. odd numbers
Hence, the median is the middle data i.e. 16
