What is the median of the numbers 2, 4, 8, 10?

  1. 5

  2. 6

  3. 7

  4. 8

The correct answer is: 7

The median is calculated by finding the middle number when all the numbers are arranged in ascending or descending order. In this case, the numbers are already arranged in ascending order. The middle number would be 6, as it is exactly between 4 and 8. Therefore, option C is the correct median for the given numbers. Option A (5) is incorrect because it is below the middle number of 6. Option B (6) is incorrect because it is not the middle number, as there is only one middle number when there is an odd number of elements in a set. Option D (8) is incorrect because it is above the middle number of 6.
