Question

Find the median of the following set of points:

15, 14, 10, 8, 12, 8, 16, 13

• A. 10-20
• B. 20-30
• C. 30-40
• D. 40-50

Answer 1

The correct option is C

30-40

First, arrange the point values in an ascending order (or descending order).

8, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

The number of point values is 8, an even number. Hence the median is the average of the 2 middle values.
$Median=\frac{12+13}{2}=12.5$
