Apt0810,

Isn't the question asking us for the country that ranks 11th? And Thailand (300) ranks 10th. Could you please clarify this?

Thank you.

Thailand ranks 11th. Though the question talks about top 10 production, the graph shows 11 countries.

ETA - I see that i misread the graph and did not notice that one of the bar isn't a specific country but "rest of the world". In this case, now even I am confused how Thailand is the 11th country!

For Q1, the median would be the mean of the 5th and 6th values, right? 5th and 6th values when arranged in ascending order are 910 and 1700 respectively. What am i doing wrong?

In the first question we have to consider the top 10 countries, because if you see the graph properly the 11th node is rest of the world and not 1 specific country so we need to take the median of other 10 mentioned countries from the graph

I guess there is a mistake in the first past of the question. I feel the appropriate answer is (1700+910)/2 =1305.

I don't believe we can include 'Rest of the World' (4017 mil liters) as part of our median calculation because 'Rest of the World' is outside the scope of the statement, which involves the top 10 producing countries. This refers to the 10 countries specifically mentioned on the graph.

We know that the 11th country's production will be less than Thailand's(10th). So we check the ratio with Thailand and figure out whatever the 11th country is, it'll be less than that.
