Find the median of :

63, 17, 50, 9, 25, 43, 21, 50, 14 and 34

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

9, 14, 17, 21, 25, 34, 43, 50, 50, 63

Number of observations, n = 10 (even)

Median = $\dfrac{1}{2}\Big[\text{the value of} \Big(\dfrac{n}{2}\Big)^{th} + \text{the value of} \Big(\dfrac{n}{2} + 1\Big)^{th}\Big]$ term

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\Big[\text{the value of} \Big(\dfrac{10}{2}\Big)^{th} + \text{the value of} \Big(\dfrac{10}{2} + 1\Big)^{th}\Big]$ term

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\Big[\text{the value of} (5)^{th} + \text{the value of} (5 + 1)^{th}\Big]$ term

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\Big[25 + 34\Big]$

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\Big[59\Big]$

= 29.5

Hence, the median = 29.5.
