A.

8

B.

6

C.

7.5

D.

7

Correct option is C

Given:

The data set is: 7, 3, 5, 8, 6, 10, 9, 12

Solution:

1. First, arrange the data in ascending order:

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12

2. Since there are 8 numbers (an even number), the median is the average of the 4th and 5th numbers in the sorted list.

3. The 4th number is 7, and the 5th number is 8.

4. Therefore, the median is:

Median=7+82=7.5\text{Median} = \frac{7 + 8}{2} = 7.5​​

Thus, the median of the given data set is 7.5.
