Question

The number of blankets manufactured on different days of a week is given as follows:


The median of this data set is $28$. For the given data set, choose the correct representation.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

For the data set with odd number of values, the median is the middle value of the data set after arranging it in ascending order.

Arrange the given set in ascending order and observe the middle value.


Here, the middle value is $x+9$ and it is given that the median of the given data set is $28$. Therefore, the value of $x$ can be calculated as,

$\begin{array}{cc}x+9& =28\\ x& =28-9\\ x& =19\end{array}$

Hence, the number of blankets manufactured on different days of a week will be given as,


i.e.,


Thus, the given data will be represented as,


So, option (c) is correct.
