Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The median of a distribution is the middle value when the data points are arranged in order. Without specific data points provided, the most reasonable assumption based on common notation is that "10 pounds" is the median, as the other options seem to contain formatting errors or are less typical values for a median in common contexts.
