Heights (in cm) of 15 students are:
142, 145, 148, 150, 152, 155, 148, 150, 150, 152, 155, 148, 150, 152, 148.
What is the median height of the students?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 150
The median is the middle value when the data are arranged in order. With 15 values (an odd number), it is the \(\frac{15+1}{2}=8\)th value.
In order: 142, 145, 148, 148, 148, 148, 150, 150, 150, 150, 152, 152, 152, 155, 155
The 8th value is 150, so the median height is 150 cm
