Q. Jake has the following data:12,10,10,p,11If the median is 11, which number could p be?Choices:(A)12(B)5
Understand the Problem: Step 1: Understand the problem and the data given.Jake has the following numbers: 12, 10, 10, p, 11. We need to find the value of p such that the median of these numbers is 11.
Arrange Numbers: Step 2: Arrange the numbers in ascending order to find the median. Since the median is the middle value when the numbers are in order, and we know the median is 11, the sequence should be 10,10,11,p,12 or 10,10,p,11,12.
Determine Possible Values: Step 3: Determine possible values for p. For the median to be 11, p must be either 11 or a number greater than 11 but less than 12. Since 12 is already in the list and is the maximum, p must be 11.
