Q3. What is the median of the following set of numbers? 56,59,79,83,83,90 83 81 16 18

To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to arrange the numbers in ascending order and then identify the middle number. If there is an even number of observations, the median will be the average of the two middle numbers.<br /><br />Given the set of numbers: 56, 59, 79, 83, 83, 90<br /><br />First, arrange them in ascending order:<br />56, 59, 79, 83, 83, 90<br /><br />There are six numbers in this set, which is an even number. Therefore, the median will be the average of the third and fourth numbers in this ordered list.<br /><br />The third number is 79, and the fourth number is 83.<br /><br />Calculate the average of these two numbers:<br />\[<br />\text{Median} = \frac{79 + 83}{2} = \frac{162}{2} = 81<br />\]<br /><br />Therefore, the median of the set is 81.
