first we put them in order
75,76,77,79,80,81,85,86,90,91

the median is the middle number...however, in cases where there are an even number of numbers, ur gonna have 2 middle numbers....so u take the average of those 2 numbers...basically, u add them and divide by 2.
So we have 2 numbers in the middle.....we add them and divide by 2 to get the median.
(80 + 81) / 2 = 161/2 = 80.5 <== the median

The median score for the students is option (B) 80.5 points

What is Median?

In statistics and probability theory, the median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample.

Given,

The scores = 91, 77, 90, 79, 81, 85, 86, 76, 75 and 80

Arrange the score from lowest to highest

75, 76, 77, 79, 80, 81, 85, 86, 90 and 91

Middle terms are 5th and 6th term

Median = \(\frac{80+81}{2}=80.5\)

Hence, the median score for the students is option (B) 80.5 points
