If a variable takes the discrete values `alpha-4`, `alpha -(7)/(2), alpha-(5)/(2), alpha-2,alpha+(1)/(2), alpha-(1)/(2), alpha+5(alpha gt 0)`, then the median isA. `alpha-(5)/(4)`B. `alpha-(1)/(2)`C. `alpha-2`D. `alpha+(5)/(4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Arrange the data as follows :
`alpha-(7)/(2), alpha-3, alpha-(5)/(2),alpha-2, alpha-(1)/(2),alpha+(1)/(2),alpha+4,alpha+5`
Median `=(1)/(2)` [value of 4th item+value of 5th item]
`therefore " Median"=(alpha-2+alpha-(1)/(2))/(2)=(2alpha-(5)/(2))/(2)=alpha-(5)/(4)`
