Jody's English quiz scores are 56, 93, 72, 89, and 87. What is the median of her scores?
To find out the median, first put the numbers in sequence from least to greatest. 56, 72, 87, 89, 93. The middle number is the median. 87 is in the middle of the list, thus, it is the median. If you chose a, you forgot to put the numbers in sequence before searching the middle number.
