Question 1 of 10

Here is the histogram of a data distribution. All class widths are 1.
What is the median of the distribution?
A. 6
B. 4
C. 5
D. 3

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

The median of distribution means the middle number basically and there are 21 numbers and so the middle of 1-21 is 11. The 11th number in the sequence is 5.

So the median distribution in a histogram is a fancy way of saying what is the median number in the graph. So this "graph" has numbers from 1 all the way to 10. The median here is between 5 and 6 being 5.5

There are also 21 numbers and so the number that is in the middle of this is going to be the 11th number which is in the number 5 column.

So the answer is 5
