The given data is:
7, 5, 2, 3, 6, 9, 1
Arrange the numbers in ascending order:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9
Count the total numbers: 7 numbers (odd count)
For an odd count, the median is the middle value.
Middle position =2n+1
=27+1
=4
The 4th position in the ordered list:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9
The 4th number is 5.
Therefore, the median is 5.
