Full solution

Q. Hannah has the following data:\newlineq,4,8,8,3q, 4, 8, 8, 3\newlineIf the median is 44, which number could qq be?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)88\newline(B)33
  1. Understand Median Definition: First, let's understand what a median is: it's the middle value of a data set when it's arranged in order. Since there are 55 numbers in the data set, the median will be the third number when they are sorted.
  2. Sort Numbers Excluding qq: Let's sort the numbers we know, excluding qq for now: 3,4,8,83, 4, 8, 8. If the median is 44, qq must be a number that, when added, still allows 44 to be the middle number.
  3. Determine Possible Values for qq: If qq is less than or equal to 44, the sorted list would look like this if q=3q = 3: 3,3,4,8,83, 3, 4, 8, 8. Here, 44 is still the median. If q=8q = 8, the sorted list would be: 3,4,8,8,83, 4, 8, 8, 8, where 88 becomes the median, which is incorrect.
