- Decide whether the following statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain your reasoning. In my data set of 10 exam scores, the median turned out to be the score of the person with the third highest grade. No two people got the same score. Choose the correct answer below. O A. This makes sense because the third highest score must be the most common value. O B. This does not make sense because the median value should be between the fifth and sixth highest scores. O C. This does not make sense because the median value should be the sum of all values divided by the total number of values. O D. This makes sense because outliers do not affect the median, so the people who got a perfect score wouldn't change the median value.arrow_forwardgq3 ANSWER IN WRITING ON PAPER, PLEASE.
