Question

What is the median for the set of data shown

Answer 1

Choice C is correct answer.

Explanation:

,We have given a set of data.

14,28,33,42,53,81,97

We have to find the median of the set of data.

Median is the middle value of arranged set of data.

To find median from a set of data,arrange the value in a order of smallest value to largest value.

Given set is arranged.

From odd number of values , median is the middle value.

n = 7

Hence, the middle value is 42.

Median is 42 in given data set.

Answer 2

Answer: OPTION C

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the median is the middle number in the set.

Therefore, keeping the definition above on mind, to solve this problem the numbers must be arranged from least to greastest. In the figure shown in the problem, you can see that they are already arranged in this order. Therefore, the middle number in the set is:

14, 28, 33, 42, 53, 81, 97

Then, you can conclude that the median is: 42.

Therefore, the answer is the Option C.
