Find the median of first 50 whole numbers.

Answer»

The first 50 whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …, 49.

Here n = 50, which is even.

Where, n is the number of the given number.

∴median = ½ {(n/ 2)th term + ((n/2) + 1)th term}

= ½ {(50/ 2)th term + ((50/2) + 1)th term}

= ½ {(25)th term + ((25) + 1)th term}

= ½ {(25)th term + (26)th term}

= ½ (24 + 25)

= ½ (49)

= (49/2)

= 24.5

Hence, the median of first 50 whole numbers is 24.5.
