Answer:

Option B. False

Explanation:

If we take set of whole numbers as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Then the median of this set will be mean of two whole numbers which are in center.

Median = (3 + 4)/2 = 7/2 = 3.5

which is not a whole number.

Therefore the given statement that median of a list of whole numbers must be a whole number is False.

Answer is False.
