Q. Pamela has the following data:4,6,10,g,17If the median is 10, which number could g be?Choices:(A)17(B)7
Arrange Data Set: Arrange the data set in ascending order with g in a position that makes 10 the median.Data set in ascending order with g as a possible value: 4, 6, g, 10, 17
Determine Possible Values: Determine the possible values for g that keep 10 as the median.Since 10 must be the third number in the list for it to be the median, g must be less than or equal to10.
Compare with Choices: Compare the possible values of g with the given choices. Choices are (A) 17 and (B) 7. Since g must be ≤10, g cannot be 17; it must be 7.
