Correct answer: A. 6
Explanation: For five ordered values, the median is the third (middle) one, which is 6.
In a perfectly normal (bell-shaped) distribution, mean, median, and mode all coincide at the centre; about 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% within 2, and 99.7% within 3 - the empirical rule used to judge how typical or extreme a value is.
