Median example (Ungrouped data)

 

Find the median of the following data for marks in Statistics (out of 100).

{99, 34, 45, 72, 98, 40, 62, 21}

Step 1: Order the values from low to high

21, 34, 40, 45, 62, 72, 98, 99

Here, n (total number of observations) is 8, which is even, so we will use the formula given below:

Thus, median marks in Statistics are 53.5.
