Question

Divya recorded the shoe sizes of girls in her class :

Calculate the Median shoe size from the given data?

• A. 36
• B. 37.5
• C. 37
• D. 38

Answer 1

The correct option is C

37

For finding the median, we first need to visualise that the number of girls are arranged according to ascending order of shoe size.

Total number of girls = 2 + 7 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 24

The Median will be given by the shoe size of the 13th girl.

First 2 girls have size = 35

Next 7 have size = 36

The next 6 have the size as 37.

Since the 13th girl also has this shoe size ,

$\therefore$ The Median shoe size = 37
