Question

For a symmetrical distribution $Q_{1} = 25$ and $Q_{3} = 45$, the median is

• A. 20
• B. 25
• C. 35
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

35

Answer 2

As the distribution is symmetrical, therefore,

$\mathbf{Q}_{\mathbf{2}}$ (Median) $= \frac{Q_{1} + Q_{3}}{2}$ $= \frac{25 + 45}{2} = 35$.
