what is maiden in data handling
Its not maiden but its median.
Median is the middle value in the data.
Example 1: 3,4 5,9,10,4,6
to find median 1st step is to arrange it in ascending order
3,4,4,5,6,9,10
When numbers are odd median = n + 1th observation
2
here n = 7
so median = 7 + 1 = 8 = 4 th observation = 5
2 2
Example 2: 8,12,3,5,8,8,9,1
ascending order = 1,3,5,8,8,8,9,12
When numbers are even then median = ( n ) th observation + ( n ) + 1th observation
2 2
2
Here n = 8
= ( 8 )th observation + ( 8 ) + 1th observation
2 2
2
= 4th observation + 5th oservation
2
= 8 + 8
2
= 16 = 8
