Question

Certilyst · Accepted Answer

C Rationale: The median weight of the 9 pumpkins sold yesterday is 4.65. To find the median, the weights must be arranged in ascending order, and since there are 9 weights, the median is the value at the 5th position.

Choice A (4.2) is incorrect because it does not fall within the range of the middle values when the weights are sorted.

Choice B (4.5) is incorrect as it is also not the middle value; it is lower than the actual median of the sorted weights.

Choice D (4.75) is incorrect because it is above the median and does not represent the middle weight in the dataset.

Choice E (4.8) is incorrect as it exceeds the median weight and does not correspond to the central value in the ordered list of weights.
