Answer 1

The correct option is D

$8$
Given number of points : $6,5,8,4,8,11,5,14,9$

Step 1: Arrange points in increasing orders
$6,5,8,4,8,11,5,14,9\Rightarrow 4,5,5,6,8,8,9,11,14$

Step 2: Find the number of points at middle.
$8$ is at the middle at fifth from beginning.

Step 3: Thus, the Median is $8$.
