This is gre preparation question of data interpretation, Distribution of test score among students(Score range -> total % of students)
0-65 -> 16
65-69 -> 37
70-79 -> 25
80-89 -> 14
90-100 -> 8
Question is that
Which of the following point ranges includes the median reading test score for ninth grade students in School District X for 1993 ?
From my understanding, median is the middle value of the dataset
1,2,3,4,5 median=3
1,2,3,4,5,6 median=3.5
From this logic answers is 0-65 as 16 comes in middle (8,14,16,25,37), However that is not right, Correct answer is 65-69.
Can anyone explain to me what I am doing wrong?
