To find the median number of books read by each class, we need to first sort the responses and then find the median.
Class 1 Responses (unsorted):
0, 5, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 1, 1, 4, 6, 4, 5, 6
Sorted Class 1 Responses:
0, 1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 10
There are 15 responses in Class 1. The median is the middle value, which means we need to find the value at position (15 + 1) / 2 = 8.
Class 1 Median:
- 1st value: 0
- 2nd value: 1
- 3rd value: 1
- 4th value: 3
- 5th value: 4
- 6th value: 4
- 7th value: 5
- 8th value: 5 (median)
- 9th value: 6
- 10th value: 6
- 11th value: 6
- 12th value: 7
- 13th value: 8
- 14th value: 10
So, the median for Class 1 is 5.
Class 2 Responses (unsorted):
2, 2, 4, 3, 0, 0, 6, 6, 10, 9, 6, 5, 3, 1, 2
Sorted Class 2 Responses:
0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 9, 10
There are also 15 responses in Class 2. The median is again at position (15 + 1) / 2 = 8.
Class 2 Median:
- 1st value: 0
- 2nd value: 0
- 3rd value: 1
- 4th value: 2
- 5th value: 2
- 6th value: 2
- 7th value: 3
- 8th value: 3 (median)
- 9th value: 4
- 10th value: 5
- 11th value: 6
- 12th value: 6
- 13th value: 6
- 14th value: 9
- 15th value: 10
So, the median for Class 2 is 3.
Summary:
- The median number of books read during the summer by Class 1 is 5.
- The median number of books read during the summer by Class 2 is 3.
Class 1 has a higher median number of books read during the summer.
