Question

what is the median? 40 47 41 44 35 34 44 40 39

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data

Sort the given numbers in ascending order: \(34,35,39,40,40,41,44,44,47\)

Step2: Find the median

Since there are \(n = 9\) (odd number of data points), the median is the \(\frac{n + 1}{2}\) -th value.
\(\frac{9+1}{2}=5\) -th value.
The 5 -th value in the sorted list \(34,35,39,40,40,41,44,44,47\) is \(40\)

Answer:

\(40\)
