Question
In a town, the temperature recorded at different time slots on a certain day in degree centigrade(oC) are 32, 35, 37, 39, 41, 41, 39, 37 and 36.The median of the given observations isA. 37B. 39C. 40D. 41
Solution
To find the median of the given observations, we first need to arrange the data in ascending order.
The given temperatures are: 32, 35, 37, 39, 41, 41, 39, 37, and 36.
Arranging them in ascending order gives: 32, 35, 36, 37, 37, 39, 39, 41, 41.
The median is the middle value of a set of data. Since there are 9 observations, the median is the 5th value, which is 37.
So, the median of the given observations is 37. Therefore, the answer is A. 37.
