Question #N933
The following data set represents the number of hours a group of students spent studying for an exam: 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 8, 8, 8, 13, 13. What is the median number of hours spent studying for the exam?
A. 4
B. 6
C. 8
D. 13
Correct Answer is: C
To find the median, we must first order the data set from least to greatest: 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 8, 8, 8, 13, 13. Since there are 11 data points (an odd number), the median is the middle value, which is 8.
