Vedclass · Answer

(D) For a series with an even number of observations $n$,the data is first arranged in ascending or descending order. Since $n$ is even,there are two middle terms located at the $(\frac{n}{2})$-th position and the $(\frac{n}{2}+1)$-th position. The median is calculated as the arithmetic mean (average) of these two middle terms. Therefore,$	ext{Median} = \frac{(\frac{n}{2}	ext{-th term}) + ((\frac{n}{2}+1)	ext{-th term})}{2}$.
