alleryA few people fail a puzzle in the time given. Why can a median time still be found?
AMean replaces it
BFailures count as zero
CExtreme times not needed
DEvery time is needed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Extreme times not needed
1. The median depends only on the middle of the ordered data.
2. Failed attempts are just at the slow end of the order.
3. Their exact times are not needed to find the middle.
Failures are not counted as zero, and the median does not need every value.
