Question
The heights (in cm) of 9 basketball players in a
tournament are as follows: 178, 182, 175, 180, 184, 179, 177, 181, 183 Find the median height of the players.Solution
ATQ, Arrange the data in ascending order: 175,177,178,179,180,181,182,183,184 Since the number of observations (n = 9) is odd: 
Here, n = 9, so the median is: 
The median height is 180 cm.
