Find the median of the following data:
42, 19, 46, 17, 8, 35, 26, 39, 29
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 29
The median is the middle value once the data are arranged in order. With 9 values, it is the \(\displaystyle\frac{9+1}{2}=5\)th value.
In ascending order: 8, 17, 19, 26, 29, 35, 39, 42, 46
The 5th value is 29
