Ans.: (a)
Solution: It is not necessary that five of these values will lie above the mean and five below it.
But since the observations are distinct, we can arrange them in increasing or decreasing
order; hence median will be the value between 5th an 6th observation. It is the property of
the mean that it must be less than the largest observation if the observations are distinct.
