Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
First, we arrange the given numbers in ascending order is
`3,4,4,5,6,7,7,7` and `12.`
Here,
Since, `n` is odd, so we use the formula for median.
Now, median `=(n+1)/2th` observation.
`=(9+1)/2th` observation (put n=9)
`=(10/2)th` observation = 5th observation =6
Hence, median of the given number is 6.
