Can you please explain.
I do not understand how could Pete have the median number of assignments since Pete has the smallest number of assignments.
I try to order them from the person holding the smallest number of assignments to the biggest number of assignment
Pete - Scott - Jim - Mike - Kate
I would probably go for B, C, and D

\(P < K\)
\(K > M\)
\(M> J\)
\(J > S\)
The question is NOT a must be but a could be
From the chain above
\(P < J < M < K\)
So K is on one extreme. However, we do not precise where S stands
We could have \(P < S < J < M < K\)
OR
\(S < P < J < M < K\) for instance.
In any case what could be is that the median could be formed by P , J, and M
Hope now is more clear
