1 answer

If the 8 is replaced with a 10, the quiz scores would be as follows: 5, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10.

To find the median, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order: 5, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10.

Since there are 8 numbers in the set, the median will be the average of the two middle numbers. In this case, the two middle numbers are 8 and 9. So, the median is (8 + 9) / 2 = 8.5.

Therefore, the correct answer is 8.5.
