Question

The median of 15, 6, 16, 8, 22, 21, 9, 18, 25 is:

• A. \( 16 \)
• B. \( 15 \)
• C. \( 21 \)
• D. \( 8 \)

Hint:

For an odd number of values, the median is the middle term. For an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle terms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

First, arrange the numbers in ascending order:
\[ 6, 8, 9, 15, 16, 18, 21, 22, 25. \] Since there are 9 numbers (odd count), the median is the middle term:
\[ \text{Median} = 15. \]
