Answer 2

Answer:

The median of the list is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : List of numbers 5,10,13,7,5.

To find : What is the median of this list of numbers ?

Solution :

Median is defined as the middle term of the list.

First we arrange data in ascending order,

5, 5, 7, 10, 13.

There are odd numbers i.e. 5

Then the median is $(\frac{n+1}{2})^{th}$ term

i.e. $(\frac{5+1}{2})^{th}=3^{rd}$ term

The 3rd term is 7.

Therefore, The median of the list is 7.
