Median or middle

The number of hours of television watched per day by a sample of 28 people is given below:

4, 1, 5, 5, 2, 5, 4, 4, 2, 3, 6, 8, 3, 5, 2, 0, 3, 5, 9, 4, 5, 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 2, 9

What is the median value?

Result

m =  4 h

Solution:

4,1,5,5,2,5,4,4,2,3,6,8,3,5,2,0,3,5,9,4,5,2,1,3,4,7,2,9 s:0,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,7,8,9,9  n=28 n2=n/2=28/2=14 m=sorted[n2] m=4 h4, 1, 5, 5, 2, 5, 4, 4, 2, 3, 6, 8, 3, 5, 2, 0, 3, 5, 9, 4, 5, 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 2, 9 \ \\ s: 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9 \ \\ \ \\ n=28 \ \\ n_{2}=n/2=28/2=14 \ \\ m=sorted[n_{2}] \ \\ m=4 \ \text{h}
