To find the median for each class, we first need to arrange the data in ascending order:
Class 1: 1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 14
Median for Class 1: (8th + 9th)/2 = (8+8)/2 = 8
Class 2: 2, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12
Median for Class 2: (8th + 9th)/2 = (7+8)/2 = 7.5
The difference between the medians is 8 - 7.5 = 0.5, so Class 1 has a higher median by 0.5 miles.
The data shows the number of miles run per week by randomly selected students from two different classes. Find the difference between the medians. Which class has a higher median? By how much? Class 1:1,6,8,10,11,14,4,5,8,2,7,7,5,10,12,11. Class 2: 2,6,4,5,6,7,8,12,9,10,11,5,8,7,4,10.
