Question

The table below shows the number of cars Jing sold each month last year. What is the median of the data in the table?

• A. $13$
• B. $16$
• C. $19$
• D. $20.5$
• E. $23.5$

Answer 1

The correct option is E $23.5$

Number of cars sold are $25,15,22,19,16,13,19,25,26,27,28,29$

In ascending order, $13,15,16,19,19,22,25,25,26,27,28,29$

Middle most values are $22$ and $25$

Median is a middle most value or average of two middle most values.

$\Rightarrow M=\frac{(22+25)}{2}=23.5$
