Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the median, we need to arrange the data in order from smallest to largest:
5, 7, 8, 10, 15, 22
The middle number is the median. If there are an even number of values, we take the mean of the two middle numbers. In this case, there are six numbers, so we take the mean of the middle two numbers. They are 8 and 10, so the median is (8+10)/2=9.00. Therefore, the best choice is C) 9.00.
