correct answer is: option c (21)
Explanation: The median is the middle value in a sorted dataset. First, we must arrange the set in ascending order: {7, 13, 17, 19, 23, 37, 53, 57}. Since there are 8 numbers (an even number), the median is the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers are 19 and 23. The median is calculated as (19 + 23) / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21.
- Option a: 10 is incorrect because it is far from the actual middle value after sorting the data.
- Option b: 18 is incorrect. While it's closer to the sorted values, it's not the average of the two middle numbers.
- Option c: 21 is the correct median, calculated as the average of 19 and 23.
- Option d: 25 is incorrect because it's too high compared to the middle sorted values.
