Question

The histogram shows the distribution of book prices, in dollars, for the 27 books for sale at a store.

The first bar represents books with prices of less than $straight $ 5$ . The second bar represents books with prices of at least $5 but less than $straight $ 10$ , and so on. In which interval will the median price of books for sale be included when the book that costs at least $straight $ 35$ but less than $straight $ 40$ is sold?

At least but $$ 0$ less than $$ 5$
At least $$ 5$ but less than $$ 10$
At least $$ 10$ but less than $$ 15$
At least $$ 35$ but less than $$ 40$

The correct answer is: At least $straight $ 5$ but less than $straight $ 10$

HINT :- Find the area or interval where the median (i. e middle number )lies
Explanation :-
The total no. of books is 27 where the median is 14th (i. e 27 = 13+1+13)
The 14^th book lies in the range of $5-$10.
so the median price is At Least $5 but less than $10
