71 , 72 , 73 , 76 , 77 , 79 , 83 , 87 , 93 What is the median of the data shown?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. The median of a data set with an odd number of data values is defined as the middle value of the ordered list of values. The data set shown has nine values, so the median is the fifth value in the ordered list, which is 77 . Choice A is incorrect. This is the minimum value of the data set, not the median. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect. This is the mean of the data set, not the median.
