Question

Gabe is the human resources manager for the Advanced Scientific Research Lab. He has to record

the heights (in centimeters) and weights (in pounds) for each of the scientists in the lab.
What are the medians for the height and weight distribution, respectively?

A. 170, 179
B. 183, 167
C. 167, 183
D. 179, 170
E. 165, 175

Answer 1

Median Height = 167
Median Weight = 183

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

For calculating the median we firstly arrange the data in ascending order and then see the middle element of the data set and that's the median.

Height: 154,158,159,163,165,167,167,174,177,178,181,186,191

As we have written heights in ascending order and see the middle element is 167.

Hence, Median of height=167

Weight: 157,163,168,173,173,177,183,184,187,189,190,192,193

As we have written weights in ascending order and see the middle element is 183.

Hence, Median of weight=183

Hence, correct option is:

C. 167, 183
