Calculating the Median Weight
The goal is to find the median weight from the given list of 7 men's weights.
Ordering the Weights
First, arrange the weights in ascending order:
- 61 kg
- 62 kg
- 63 kg
- 64 kg
- 65 kg
- 66 kg
- 67 kg
Finding the Median Value
The median is the middle value in a sorted data set. Since there are 7 observations (an odd number), the median is the value at the middle position.
The position of the median is calculated using the formula:
Position = $\frac{n+1}{2}$
Where 'n' is the number of observations.
In this case, $n = 7$.
Position = $\frac{7+1}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4$
The median is the 4th value in the ordered list.
Looking at the ordered list (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67), the 4th value is 64 kg.
Therefore, the median weight is 64 kg.
