The weights (in kg) of 7 cousins in a family are 54, 62, 65, 70, 60, 59, and 55. Find the median weight.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 60 kg.
We know,
Median = (n + 1)/2th term
Arranging the observations in ascending order, we get
54, 55, 59, 60, 62, 65, 70
Median = ((7 + 1)/2)th term
⇒ 4th term = 60 kg
