Question

Zianna goes to the movie theatre to watch her favorite animation movie. The front row of the theatre has 23 seats. She sits in a seat that occupies the median position. Find her seat number.

• A. 9
• B. 10
• C. 12
• D. 11

Answer 1

The correct option is C 12

Number of seats = 23
The median refers to the middle value.

23 is an odd number, and for an odd number, the middle value can be found using the formula:
$\frac{n+1}{2}$,
​where n = Total number of seats

Total number of seats, n = 23

Thus,
$\text{Median}=\frac{23+1}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12$

So, Zianna is sitting in the ${12}^{th}$ seat.
