Answer

On arranging the given set of data in ascending order, we get :

241, 243, 257, 258, 261, 271, 292, 299, 327, 347, 350

Number of observations, n = 11 (odd)

Median = [n+12]th\Big[\dfrac{n+1}{2}\Big]^{th} term

= [11+12]th\Big[\dfrac{11+1}{2}\Big]^{th} term

= [122]th\Big[\dfrac{12}{2}\Big]^{th} term

= 6th6^{th} term

= 271

Hence, the median = 271.
