Question:
The median of 75, 21, 56, 36, 81, 05, and 42 is
The median of 75, 21, 56, 36, 81, 05, and 42 is
Show Hint
To find the median, arrange the data in ascending order and pick the middle value. If there is an even number of values, take the average of the two middle values.

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
To find the median, first arrange the numbers in ascending order:
\[ 05, 21, 36, 42, 56, 75, 81 \]
The median is the middle number in an odd set of numbers. Since we have 7 numbers, the median is the 4th number, which is 42. Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
