Sample Test Item 22 (2003)
Posted on December 8th, 2007 by admin
The problem starts off with useless babble about food, which has NOTHING to do with calculation of the median. The question is “what is the median of the data set?”
First re-order the data set. Be careful not to miss a number.
So, you will have: [0.3, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 0.9, 1.1, 1.1, 1.1, 4.0, 5.1].
Becuase we have an even number of data numbers, we take the 5th and 6th numbers and average them to find the actual median.
The median is 1.0, which is Choice B.
