Consider the four values 5, 6, 9 and 12. Which statements about the median of this data set are true? Select all that apply.

  1. The median must be one of the values in the data set.
  2. The median is 7.5.Правильный ответ
  3. The median is 9, the larger of the two central values.
  4. The median is not one of the four listed values.Правильный ответ
  5. The median is 8.5, the mean of 5 and 12.

Объяснение

The values are already in order and the two central ones are 6 and 9, whose mean is 7.5, so that is the median even though 7.5 never appears in the list. Keeping 9 alone uses only the larger of the two central values, which leaves the result above the centre because the smaller central value is given no weight.
