What is the median shoe size in Sita's family?

Question

There are four people in Sita's family. Their shoe sizes are 4,5,7 and 10

Answer 1

In ascending order the sizes are 4, 5, 7, 10

 

the median of 4 sizes is the average of the 2nd and 3rd  = (5 + 7)/2 = 6

Answer 2

The median is the number that falls in the middle

when the numerical elements are put in order 

from smallest to largest.  If there are an even

number of elements in the set, the median is the

average of the two middle numbers:

 

4, 5, 7, 10

 

The numbers in the middle are 5, 7

The average of 5&7 is (5+7)/2 = 6
