THE TIME TAKEN BY A PHONE OPERATOR TO COMPLETE A CALL ARE 2,9,3,1,5 MINUTES RESPECTIVELY.WHAT IS THE MEDIAN TIME PER CALL?

• first we arrange the no such that
  1,2,3,5,9
  now median is the 3
  becose here n=5
  hence median=(n+1)/2=3
  3rd no
  so ans =3

• Dear Madhur
  For even no:
  if there are 2 medians then take them both and find the average. Like if the numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6 the medians are 3 and 4 so you would add them both together and divide by how many numbers there are in this case 2; you would get 7 and then divide that by 2 and get 3.5 so that is the median in this case.

• Total time taken by operator = 2 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 5 = 20
  
  Total number of call taken = 5
  
  Average time per call = Total time taken / Total number of calls taken
  
  = 20/5 = 4

• median for odd term= {(n/2)th term + (n/2+1)th term }/2
  and median for odd= (n+1)/n
  here n=5 so, 5+1/5=6/5=1.2=1 ans
