    The selling prices of product Z for the years from 20X3 to 20X8 are shown in the table below.
    Year. Selling Price($)
    20×3. 24
    20×4 23
    20×5 24
    20×6 22
    20×7 21
    20×8 20
    What is the median selling price for the product Z for the years 20×3 to 20×8?
    Sir the answer is $23
    Do i have to do this way?
    24+23+24+22+21+20+1/6
    =22.5 so it’s 23? Am i right sir?

    No.

    You are calculating the arithmetic mean. The question asks for the median, not the arithmetic mean.

    Great, although it is rather pointless to use the notes without watching the lectures because they are only lecture notes. It is in the lectures that I work through the examples and explain and expand on the notes.

    If you are not watching the lectures then you need t buy a Study Text and study from there.
