What does the median represent in a set of data?
A) The most frequent value
B) The arithmetic average
C) The middle value when data are ordered
D) The largest value



Answer :

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value of a data set arranged in ascending order, smallest to largest.

If there is no exact middle value, then it is the average of the values on either side of the middle.

For example

3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 11

          ↑ middle value

median = 7

3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 11 , 13

            ↑ middle is between 7 and 9

median = (7 + 9 ) ÷ 2 = 16 ÷ 2 = 8
