Answer 1

546.5 is the right answer I just took the test.

Answer 2

The median of the set is:

546.5

Explanation:

We know that the median of a data set is the central tendency of the data i.e. the data point that lie in the middle of the data set.

The median of data is calculated by arranging the data in the increasing order and then see the middle data point in the set:

The increasing order is given as:

512 517 524 526 541 552 558 574 579 595.

We have 10 data points so the median lie between 541 and 552.

so, the median is:

`Median=(541+552)/(2)\\\\Median=546.5`

Hence, Median=546.5
