The bowling team’s scores at last week’s competition were 123, 140,
155, 143, and 167. What is the median score for the team?
A) 44
B) 155
C) 123
D) 143 (Correct Answer)
Explanation:
To find the median of a set of numbers, the numbers should first be listed in increasing order.
This set would be 123, 140, 143, 155, 167. The median is the number in the middle of the set.
In this case it is the third number, 143.
