For an ungrouped data set with an odd number of observations that have been sorted or arrayed from smallest to largest values, where is the median located?
It is the middle most score, 50th percentile.
For an ungrouped data set with an odd number of observations that have been sorted or arrayed from smallest to largest values, the median is located at the center position. In other words, it is the value of the observation that occupies the middle position in the data set.
For an ungrouped data set with an odd number of observations that have been sorted or arrayed from smallest to largest values, the median is located at the middle position.
To find the median, you need to follow these steps:
1. Arrange the data in ascending order (from smallest to largest).
2. Count the number of observations in the dataset.
3. Divide the total number of observations by 2.
4. Round down the result to the nearest whole number.
5. The resulting number is the position of the median in the dataset.
Since the dataset has an odd number of observations, the median will be located at the position you obtained in step 4.
