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}$
✓
Both $(B)$ and $(C) $

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Both $(B)$ and $(C) $

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.
