Question

15. Students were a randomly selected from two different classes. They were asked how many books they read during the summer. Their responses are as follows. Find the medium number of books read by each class which class has a higher median number of books read

Answer 1

Class A: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
Class B: 1, 2, 2, 3, 5

To find the median number of books read by each class, we first arrange the numbers in each class in numerical order:

Class A: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
Class B: 1, 2, 2, 3, 5

Next, we find the middle number in each set. Since each set has an odd number of values, the median is the middle number:

For Class A: Median = 4
For Class B: Median = 2

Therefore, Class A has a higher median number of books read (4) compared to Class B (2).
