 Median Definition

The value of the middle-most observation obtained after

arranging the data in ascending order is called the median of the
data.
 Median Formula for
Ungrouped Data

The following steps are helpful while applying the median

formula for ungrouped data.
• Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending or descending order.
• Step 2: Secondly, count the total number of observations 'n'.
• Step 3: Check if the number of observations 'n' is even or
odd.
 Median Formula for
Ungrouped Data
The median formula of a given set of numbers, say having 'n' odd number of observations, can be
expressed as:
Median = [(n + 1)/2]th term
 Median Formula for
Ungrouped Data
Example:Scores of 15 students in a 40-item Science Quiz:
12, 15, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27, 27, 28, 28, 32, 33, 35, 36, 38.

Solution:
Step 1: Arrange the data items in ascending order.
Original set: {12, 15, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27, 27, 28, 28, 32, 33, 35, 36, 38}
Ordered Set: {12, 15, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27, 27, 28, 28, 32, 33, 35, 36, 38}
 Median Formula for
Ungrouped Data
Given : n=15
Solution:
Step 2: Count the number of observations. If the number of observations is odd, then we will use the
following formula: Median = [(n + 1)/2]th term

12, 15, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27, 27, 28, 28, 32, 33, 35,
36, 38.
 Median Formula for
Ungrouped Data
Given : n=15
Solution:
Step 3: Calculate the median using the formula.

12, 15, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27, 27, 28, 28, 32, 33, 35, 36, 38.
