Final Answer:
An estimate of the median ages of group of males is: B. 40.5
The correct answer is option B. 40.5
Explanation:
To determine the median age of a group of males, we need to arrange their ages in ascending order and find the middle value. The median is the value that separates the higher half of a data sample from the lower half. If there is an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle values.
In this case, we are not given any specific data about the ages of the males. Therefore, we cannot calculate the exact median age. However, since there are only four options provided, we can make an educated guess based on the given choices.
Among the options, A. 39.4, C. 38.2, and D. None of the above seem to be less likely, as they are whole numbers and not close to each other. On the other hand, B. 40.5 is an intermediate value between 39.4 and 38.2, making it a more plausible estimate for the median age. Thus, we can conclude that the most probable answer is B. 40.5.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. 40.5
