\(\text{(A)}\ 1 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 2 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 3 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 4 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 5\)




Answer Keys

Question 19: D


Solutions

Question 19
Step 1: Look at the graph, you can see the distribution of the number of children in each family.

Step 2: Count the total number of families. In this case, there are 13 families in total.

Step 3: The median is the middle number of a sorted list. As there are 13 families, the middle number is the 7th in either direction (from the left or from the right).

Step 4: It's easier to count from the right side. Starting from there, you can see that the 7th family has 4 children.

So, the median number of children in the family for this distribution is \(4 (\text{D})\).
