Question

question 8
find the median of the set of data. 65, 38, 202, 171, 281, 246, 237
a 177
b 171
c 237
d 202

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data

Sort the data set \(65, 38, 202, 171, 281, 246, 237\) in ascending order.
\(38,65,171,202,237,246,281\)

Step2: Find the median

For a data set with \(n = 7\) (odd number of elements), the median is the \(\frac{n + 1}{2}\) -th element.
\(\frac{7+1}{2}=4\) -th element.
The 4 -th element in the sorted data set \(38,65,171,202,237,246,281\) is \(202\).

Answer:

D. \(202\)
