See Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]n = 10[/tex]
Required
The median interval
The question is incomplete, as the required data is not given.
To solve this question, I will use the following assumed dataset.
[tex]Age:17\ 17\ 18\ 20\ 21\ 22\ 22\ 24\ 28\ 28[/tex]
First, calculate the median position.
[tex]Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\ th[/tex]
[tex]Median = \frac{10+1}{2}\ th[/tex]
[tex]Median = 5.5\ th[/tex]
This implies that the median is the mean of the 5th and 6th data
So, we have the interval to be.
[tex]Median = [5th, 6th][/tex]
[tex]Median=[21,22][/tex]
Generally, the median of 10 data set is located at interval 5 to 6
