A) \[p-\frac{5}{4}\]
B) \[p-\frac{1}{2}\]
C) \[p-2\]
D) \[p+\frac{5}{4}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Arrange the data in increasing order as, \[p-\frac{7}{2},\,\,p-3\] \[p-\frac{5}{2},\,\,p-2,\,\,p-\frac{1}{2},\,\,p+\frac{1}{2},\,\,p+4,\,\,p+5\] As, number of observations = 8 So, median \[=\frac{(4th\,\,observation)+(5th\,\,observation)}{2}=\left( p-\frac{5}{4} \right)\]You need to login to perform this action.
