- A. 272.7
- B. 754

Correct Answer: D. 229
Explanation
Find the median of the following number set: 14,15,76,345,222,976,300,117,236,426 Recall that the median is the middle value of a number set when it is arranged in ascending order. So we must begin by arranging the set in ascending order. 14,15,76,117,222,236,300,345,426,976 In this case, because we have an even number of terms, we do not have a single middle number. This means we need to take the average of the middle two terms to find our median. Median=222+236/2=229 So our answer is 229.
