Solution



To find:
    • The median of the numbers 10, 4, 26, and 16

Approach and Working:
To find the median, first we will arrange the numbers in ascending order
    • Numbers in ascending order = 4, 10, 16, 26

As there are even number of terms (4) present in the series, median will be the average of the middle two terms (2nd term and 3rd term)
    • Therefore, median = \(\frac{10+16}{2} = \frac{26}{2} = 13\)

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

10, 4, 26, 16
What is the median of the numbers shown?


A. 10

B. 13

C. 14

D. 15

E. 16

Listing the numbers from the least to the greatest, we have: 4, 10, 16, and 26.

When we have an even number of data values, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. Thus, the median is (10 + 16)/2 = 26/2 = 13.

Answer: B
