when he sorts the class's scores on the last test, the teacher notices that exactly 12 srudents scored better than Clare and exactly 12 students scored worse than Clare. Does this mean that Clare's score on the test is the median? Explain your reasoning

Answer: Yes, Clare's score is the median score.

A median number is one that is located exactly in the middle when the numbers are in order. Since there are 12 scores above hers and 12 below, hers is exactly in the middle, which is the median.
