Correct answer: C. 15

- B. 15.5
- C. 15
- D. 17
Explanation
The median is the middle value in a set of data. First, organize and order the data from smallest to largest. To find the midpoint value, divide the number of observations by two. If there are an odd number of observations, round that number up, and the value in that position is the median.1950s →20 hurricanes1960s →15 hurricanes1970s →12 hurricanes1980s →17 hurricanes1990s →15 hurricanes2000s →19 hurricanes2010s →09 hurricanesArranging them in order:9, 12, 15, 15, 17, 19, 20Median:(7+1)/2=4th term=15Therefore, the answer is C.
