Question

Which of the following is another conclusion that a person might make from the median​ values?
A.The homes in each town are about the same size.
The homes in each town are about the same size.
B.The homes in Town 1 are probably greater in size.
The homes in Town 1 are probably greater in size.
C.The homes in Town 2 are probably greater in size.
The homes in Town 2 are probably greater in size.

Answer 1

I can’t pick one without the median values. Depending on the medians:

- If the two medians are equal → A (about the same size).
- If Town 1’s median is larger → B (Town 1 homes are probably greater in size).
- If Town 2’s median is larger → C (Town 2 homes are probably greater in size).

Note: the median describes the typical (middle) value and is resistant to outliers, so it’s the appropriate comparison for “probably greater in size.” If you give the two median values (or the data/boxplots), I’ll choose the correct option.
