Question

Find the median of the numbers 24, 36, 46, 17, 18, 25, 35.

• A. 23
• B. 24
• C. 25
• D. 26

Hint:

For an odd number of values, median is the middle number after sorting. For even, average the two middle numbers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Arrange the numbers in ascending order:
\[ 17, 18, 24, 25, 35, 36, 46 \] Step 2: Find the middle number (median) in the sorted list.
Since there are 7 numbers (odd count), median is the \(\frac{7+1}{2} = 4^\text{th}\) number.
Step 3: Identify the 4th number:
The 4th number in the list is 25.
Hence, the median is \(\boxed{25}\).
