Find the median of first fifty natural number

1 answer

To find the median of the first fifty natural numbers, we first need to arrange them in increasing order:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50

Since the number of natural numbers is even (50), the median will be the average of the two middle numbers.

The two middle numbers are the 25th and 26th numbers in the list, which are 25 and 26.

Thus, the median of the first fifty natural numbers is:

(25 + 26) / 2 = 51 / 2 = 25.5

So, the median of the first fifty natural numbers is 25.5.
