Question

which of the following data sets has a median of 10?
a. 18, 10, 40, 10, 29
b. 16, 10, 12, 6, 12
c. 10, 4, 18, 29, 4

Explanation:

Step1: Arrange data in ascending order for option A

Arrange 18, 10, 40, 10, 29: 10, 10, 18, 29, 40. Since there are 5 (odd) numbers, the median is the middle - number, which is 18.

Step2: Arrange data in ascending order for option B

Arrange 16, 10, 12, 6, 12: 6, 10, 12, 12, 16. Since there are 5 (odd) numbers, the median is the middle - number, which is 12.

Step3: Arrange data in ascending order for option C

Arrange 10, 4, 18, 29, 4: 4, 4, 10, 18, 29. Since there are 5 (odd) numbers, the median is the middle - number, which is 10.

Answer:

C. 10, 4, 18, 29, 4
