alleryWith an even number of observations, the median is usually taken as
Athe first of the two middle values
Bthe largest of all the values
Cthe mean of the two middle values
Dthe most frequent value
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. the mean of the two middle values
1. An even count has no single middle value.
2. Two values sit in the middle after ordering.
3. The median is their arithmetic mean.
Taking only one middle value is not the usual rule, and the largest or most frequent value is not a median.
