Question

Find the median of the following set of points in a game:

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

• A. 6
• B. 7
• C. 8
• D. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is D

9

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

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

The number of point values is 7, an odd number. Hence, the median is the value in the middle position.

Here, middle position is the fourth position.
Therefore, Median = 12
