The correct Answer is:
To find the median of a data set with 19 observations arranged in ascending order, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Number of Observations (n)**: - We have a total of 19 observations. - So, \( n = 19 \). 2. **Use the Median Formula**: - The formula to find the median in a data set is given by: \[ \text{Median} = \frac{n + 1}{2} \text{th term} \] 3. **Substitute the Value of n**: - Substitute \( n = 19 \) into the formula: \[ \text{Median} = \frac{19 + 1}{2} \text{th term} \] 4. **Calculate the Value**: - Calculate \( 19 + 1 = 20 \). - Now divide by 2: \[ \text{Median} = \frac{20}{2} \text{th term} = 10 \text{th term} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the observation that represents the median is the **10th term**. ### Final Answer: The median is represented by the **10th observation**.
