During an experiment the following times (in seconds) were recorded. find the median.
2.78, 2.35, 2.43, 10.91, 2.69, 2.65, 2.38
the median is ( ) seconds.

The median is 2.65 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

So the median is the middle number. First of all, we have to sort them into ascending order.

2.35, 2.38, 2.43, 2.65, 2.69, 2.78, 10,91.

Since this is median and not mean, we don't need to get rid of outliers / anomalies.

The middle number in that would be 2.65.

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
