do you know what the median of the data is ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is b right
OpenStudy (phi):
yes, and the median is the "middle number"
to make the median number bigger, we do *not* add both a small number and a big number (because the median will still be in the middle)
cross off anything that does that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it

you can figure it out like this
for each of the choices they add in a number smaller than 11 and bigger than 11
so ignore those (they don't change the middle)
thus you have these as the choices:
A _ (blank)
B 12
C 11
D 4
A does nothing. of the 3 remaining choices, which adds a number bigger than 11?
