Question

What is the median for the given data?

Stem	Leaf
$6$	$347$
$7$	$2559$
$8$	$123$
$9$	$7$

Key $6|3=63$

• A. $77$
• B. $7$
• C. $5$
• D. $75$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $75$

Putting the numbers from the stem-and-leaf plot in ascending order:
$63,64,67,72,75,75,79,81,82,83,97$
Since there are 11 terms, the number in the middle, i.e., the fifth term is the median.
So, $75$ is the median.
