13. The median floor area in 2000 was 36.30 square meters, higher than the 30.43 square meters recorded in 1990. This
meant that half of the occupied housing units in Cavite had a floor area of how many square meters?
A. 35.18sqm
B. 36.36sqm
C. 30.45sqm
D. 36.30sqm

Correct Answer
A. 35.18sqm
Explanation
The correct answer is 35.18 square meters because the median floor area in 2000 was 36.30 square meters, which
means that half of the occupied housing units in Cavite had a floor area less than or equal to 36.30 square meters. Since
the median is the middle value, the other half of the occupied housing units would have a floor area greater than or
equal to 36.30 square meters. Therefore, the floor area of the housing units in question would be less than 36.30 square
meters, but greater than the next smallest value listed, which is 35.18 square meters.
