What was the median number of days away from work for nonfatal injuries requiring time away from work in 2008?

4 days
8 days
15 days
28 days

The correct answer is: 8 days

Option A (4 days) is too low of a number to be the median, as it is unlikely that half of injuries requiring time away from work in 2008 resulted in only 4 days away. Option C (15 days) and Option D (28 days) are too high of numbers to be the median, as it is unlikely that half of injuries requiring time away from work in 2008 resulted in that many days away from work. The correct median, Option B (8 days), is a more reasonable and balanced number that falls between the other options and is therefore the most likely to be the correct answer.
