For 10 consecutive days, Anthony recorded the daily high temperatures in Denton in Loretto. The table shows the data which city has a higher median daily high temperature how much higher in cities median than other cities median daily high temperature.

Answer 1

To determine which city has a higher median daily high temperature, we need to calculate the median of the daily high temperatures for both Denton and Loretto.

For Denton:
Arrange the daily high temperatures in ascending order:
91, 87, 89, 90, 88, 85, 84, 86, 92, 93

Since there are 10 temperatures, the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th values:
Median = (88 + 85)/2 = 86.5

For Loretto:
Arrange the daily high temperatures in ascending order:
85, 82, 84, 83, 78, 79, 81, 82, 86, 87

Since there are 10 temperatures, the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th values:
Median = (78 + 79)/2 = 78.5

Therefore, Denton has a higher median daily high temperature (86.5) compared to Loretto (78.5). The difference in their median daily high temperatures is 8 degrees.
