MCQ

When there are 2 observations in the middle, median is calculated by ______.

A
taking both the values as median
B
taking the mean of the two observations
C
$ \frac{(\text{N}+1)}{ 2}$
D
$ \frac{(\text{N}+1)}{ 2}$

✓

Answer

both B and C

Solution:

Median is the middle most value of a series.

So when the series has odd number of elements then,

median can be calculated easily but when the series has even number of elements then,

The series has two middle values, so

median is calculated either by taking out the average of both the

value or the median is the$ \frac{(\text{N}+1)}{ 2}$ th element of the series.
