Question
A data has $25$ observations arranged in a descending order. Which observation represents the median$?$
✓
Answer
Number of observation $= n = 25 ($odd$)$
Hence, median $=$ value of $\Big(\frac{\text{n}+1}{2}\Big)^{\text{th}}$ observation
$=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{25+1}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation
$=$ Value of $13^{th}$ observation
Hence, median $=$ value of $\Big(\frac{\text{n}+1}{2}\Big)^{\text{th}}$ observation
$=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{25+1}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation
$=$ Value of $13^{th}$ observation
