Give a quick stream of consciousness before answering the following question. If in a certain sequence of consecutive multiples of 100, the median is 650, and the greatest term is 1000, how many terms that are smaller than 650 are there in the sequence?
Options:
(A) 6
(B) 4
(C) 8
(D) 12
(E) 13
Since the median is 650 we know there must be a even number of integers
So the list around 625 must go. 600 ( 650) 700 800 900 1000
Since we know there are 4 numbers greater than 650 then there must be 4 numbers less then 650.
The answer: (B).
