Question

when he sorts the class's scores on the last test, the teacher notices that exactly 12 students scored better than Clare and exactly 12 students scored worse than Clare. Does this mean that Clare's score on the test is the median? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes clare’s test score is the median. This is true because the median is the middle of the data so if there are equal numbers of 12 below and above her score that would mean her score is in the middle and would be considered the median

Answer 2

Yes, Clare's score on the test is the median.

Step-by-step explanation: Yes, because if we line up the scores from least to greatest and continue to cross off a score on each side, Clare's score will be exactly in the middle.
