Question

Six different plug-in hybrid vehicles were tested for their electric-only driving range. The same six cars were tested seven days in a row. Their batteries charged to full capacity overnight. The average range for each vehicle is listed in the table.

PHEVs


Range (miles)

Car 1 = 75

Car 2 = 100

Car 3 = 110

Car 4 = 97

Car 5 = 120

Car 6 = 116

What is the median average range of the PHEVs tested in the chart?

A. 103 miles
B. 104 miles
C. 105 miles
D. 110 miles

Answer 1

To find the median average range of the PHEVs, you need to arrange the range values in numerical order and then find the middle value. The numerical order of the range values is: 75, 97, 100, 110, 116, 120. The middle value is 105 miles, so the median average range is 105 miles. The correct answer is therefore C: 105 miles.
