The bar graph shown represents data for different days of the week.

The MEDIAN is the value that occurs at the middle of the data set.

From the information given in the bar graph, the median value occurs between Wedneday and Thursday, that is, between 15000 steps and 11900 (approximately) steps. That would be;


\begin{gathered} \text{Median}=(15000+11900)/(2) \\ \operatorname{median}=(26900)/(2) \\ \operatorname{median}=13450 \end{gathered}

Observe that the number of steps for Thursday is an approximation.

Therefore the fourth option best represents the Median.

ANSWER:

13,244 best represents the Median
