Definition of Median Age

In this article shall we discuss about definition of median age. The middle number is also indicating as a median. Now, we have to place the numbers in ascending order. And then locate the middle number. If the set age data contain two middle numbers’ we have to  find the average of both the middle numbers. This also denoted as a median (middle number).

Example Problems Based on Definition of Median Age:

The Example problems based on definition of median age is given below that,

Example 1:

How do you determine median of a following age’s set is 13, 9, 11, 10, 15 and 8?

Solution:

Step 1:

The given data set is 13, 9, 11, 10, 15 and 8.

Step 2:

Now, we have to find the median.

Step 3:

So, arrange ascending order of given data set.

Therefore, the ascending order is 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15.

Step 4:

Here, 10 and 11 as a middle number.

So, now we have to find out average of two numbers.

Step 5:

Therefore, the average of two numbers is `(10 + 11)/2 ` = `21/2` = 10.5

The median value is 10.5

Example 2:

How do you determine median of a following age’s set is 7, 9, 10, 12, 11, 14 and 8?

Solution:

Step 1:

The given data set is 7, 9, 10, 12, 11, 14 and 8.

Step 2:

Now, we have to find the median.

Step 3:

So, arrange ascending order of given data set.

Therefore, the ascending order is 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14.

Step 4:

Here, 10 is a middle number.

Therefore, the median value is 10.
