What is the median of the following values?

90, 58,12, 85, 24,41, 1

Expert Solution
Step 1

To calculate the median of a given data set, we need to check first whether given data count is even or odd.

90, 58,12, 85, 24,41, 1 have total 7 values, so median (middle ) of the data set would be the 4 th number when arranged in ascending(or descending ) order.

Before 4th number , there will be three values, and after fourth number, there will be three values, hence, 4th number in a size of 7 data set would be the median.
