A die was thrown 15 times and the outcomes recorded were:

5, 3, 4, 1, 2, 6, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 1, 2.

What is the median?

Answer:

Given data is 5, 3, 4, 1, 2, 6, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 1, 2.

Arranging the data in ascending order, we have

1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6.

Total number of observations =15, which is odd.

∴ Median =Eighth term =3

Hence, median = 3
