Question

The number of eggs Friedrich's chickens lay is as shown below.


Anthony says that the median will be from the data set.
Benny says that the median will not be from the data set.
Who is correct?

• A. Anthony
• B. Benny
• C. Neither Anthony nor Benny
• D. Both Anthony and Benny

Answer 1

The correct option is A Anthony

Median is the middle value of a numerically ordered data set.

Arranging the number of eggs in ascending order, we get:
6, 7, 8, 8, 9

Since the total number of data points is odd, the median is the middle value of the data set arranged in ascending order. In this case, it would be the 3rd value.

Thus, the median is 8.

Hence, the median is from the data set and Anthony is correct.
