Question

Which of the following data sets cannot have a median?

• A. Data sets 1 and 2
• B. Only data set 3
• C. Only data set 2
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Only data set 2

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

Data sets 1 and 3 are numerical, whereas data set 2 is categorical.

Thus, the median cannot be found for the categorical data set, and the correct option is data set 2.
