Question

State with reasons whether you agree or disagree with the following statement:

Median is also known as the second quartile.

Answer 1

Yes, I agree with the statement. 

• Median is the middlemost value in the arranged data. 
• It is the value that divides the series into two equal parts, so that the number of items above it, is equal to the number of items below it. 
• It is not affected by extreme values.
• Median = n/2 and Q = 2 (n/4) i.e n/2. 
• Therefore, the Median is equal to the second quartile.
