Question

Find the median of the given set of numbers: 2, 6, 6, 8, 4, 2, 7, 9

• A. 6
• B. 8
• C. 4
• D. 5

Hint:

When calculating the median, always arrange the numbers in ascending order first. If there is an even number of values, average the middle two numbers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To find the median, first arrange the numbers in ascending order: 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9. 
Since there are 8 numbers, the median is the average of the 4th and 5th numbers: \(\frac{6 + 6}{2} = 6\). 
Therefore, the correct answer is "6."
