Solution

The wickets taken by Jumpo in 9 matches are:

3, 2, 0, 1, 3, 0, 5, 1, 4

The median is the middle value when numbers are arranged in order.

Arranging the wickets in order from smallest to largest:

0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5

Total number of matches $= 9$ (odd number)

For an odd count, the middle position is:

Middle position $= \dfrac{n + 1}{2}$

Middle position $= \dfrac{9 + 1}{2}$

Middle position $= \dfrac{10}{2}$

Middle position $= 5$

Finding the value at the 5th position in the arranged list:

0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5

The 5th value is $2$ .

Therefore, the median number of wickets taken by Jumpo is $2$ .
