A.55

B.52

C.49

D.58

Answer 1

the median is 52, so the answer would be B.

Answer 2

Option B is correct

The median of the following string of values is 52

Explanation:

Median defined as the median is the middle number.

To find the median of the following string of values:

55, 18, 58, 49, 8, 77, 62, 26, 7, 91

Arrange the string of values from least to greatest.

7, 8, 18 , 26, 49, 55, 58, 62, 77, 91

As you can see that we have two numbers, there is no middle number.

Simply, take the mean of the two middle numbers.

then;

Median =
`(49+55)/(2) = (104)/(2) = 52`

Therefore, the median of the following string of values is 52
