What was Mitchell's median time in the 100-yard dash?

Answer 1

Answer: Mitchell's median time in the 100-yard dash is 11.5 secs

Explanation:

To find the median you find the middle number from the set of numbers you have. Here in this problem they give you 6 sets of number, and since there is an even set of numbers you will be having two numbers together. Which in this case is 22, 24. Now you find the number that is between these two which is 23 and you divide it by 2 which is 11.5.
