Solution

The correct option is B 3.5, 3
Median is the middle value of a numerically ordered data set.

Arranging the scores in ascending order, we get:
3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 12.

An outlier is a value in a data set that is either too small or too big compared to the other values of the same data set. Thus, from the given scoreboard, we can see that 12 is the outlier.

Median (with outlier): 3+42 = 3.5
Median (without the outlier): 3
