Dayton: 77, 79, 82, 85, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91
Laredo: 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 86, 87, 88, 88, 92
Dayton has 10 temperatures, so the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th values: (85 + 86) / 2 = 85.5°F
Laredo also has 10 temperatures, so the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th values: (84 + 86) / 2 = 85°F
Therefore, Dayton has a higher median daily high temperature than Laredo by 0.5°F.rugby.

The cars from both companies have the same mean, median, and modal highway fuel efficiency.
The cars from both companies have the same mean, median, and modal highway fuel efficiency.
The cars from Company A have a higher mean highway fuel efficiency that Company B.
The cars from Company A have a higher mean highway fuel efficiency that Company B.
The cars from Company B have higher modal highway fuel efficiency than Company A.
The cars from Company B have higher modal highway fuel efficiency than Company A.
The cars from Company A have higher median highway fuel efficiency than Company B.
Car Company A: 35, 28, 35, 30, 31, 38, 35, 30
Mean: (35 + 28 + 35 + 30 + 31 + 38 + 35 + 30) / 8 = 32.25 mpg
Median: Arranging the values in order gives -> 28, 30, 30, 31, 35, 35, 35, 38. The median is 32.5 mpg.
Mode: The mode for Company A is 35 mpg.
Car Company B: 29, 33, 36, 27, 34, 34, 34, 25
Mean: (29 + 33 + 36 + 27 + 34 + 34 + 34 + 25) / 8 = 31.25 mpg
Median: Arranging the values in order gives -> 25, 27, 29, 33, 34, 34, 34, 36. The median is 33.5 mpg.
Mode: The mode for Company B is 34 mpg.
Based on these calculations, we can determine that the correct statement is:
"The cars from Company A have a higher mean highway fuel efficiency than Company B."

Fast Food 1: 42, 38, 37, 39, 38, 40, 45, 41, 40
Mean: (42 + 38 + 37 + 39 + 38 + 40 + 45 + 41 + 40) / 9 ≈ 39.22 minutes
Median: Arranging the values in order gives -> 37, 38, 38, 39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 45. The median is 40 minutes.
Mode: The mode for Fast Food 1 is 40 minutes (appears twice).
Fast Food 2: 40, 37, 40, 41, 38, 46, 41, 37, 40
Mean: (40 + 37 + 40 + 41 + 38 + 46 + 41 + 37 + 40) / 9 ≈ 40.22 minutes
Median: Arranging the values in order gives -> 37, 37, 38, 40, 40, 40, 41, 41, 46. The median is 40 minutes.
Mode: The mode for Fast Food 2 is 40 minutes (appears twice).
From the calculations, we see that the false statement is: "Both fast food restaurants have the same mean delivery time of 40 minutes." This is false, as Fast Food 1 has a mean delivery time of approximately 39.22 minutes, while Fast Food 2 has a mean delivery time of approximately 40.22 minutes.

By surveying all the 7th-grade students in the school (All 400 students), you would have a better representation of the diverse preferences and opinions of the entire 7th-grade population. This larger sample size is more likely to provide a comprehensive picture of the favorite books chosen by the students in that grade level.
