Question

For 10 consecutive days, Anthony recorded the daily high temperatures in Dayton and Laredo. The table shows the data. Which city has a higher median daily high temperature? How much higher is this city's median than the other city's median daily high temperature? < (1 point) Dayton has a higher median daily high temperature than Laredo by 0.5°F. Laredo has a higher median daily high temperature than Dayton by 1°F. Dayton has a higher median daily high temperature than Laredo by 0.3°F. Laredo has a higher median daily high temperature than Dayton by 0.5°F.

Answer 1

To find the median daily high temperature, we first need to arrange the temperatures in order.

Dayton: 82, 85, 87, 86, 88, 90, 91, 92, 84, 83
Laredo: 95, 96, 94, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 93, 92

For Dayton:
Median = (88 + 90) / 2
Median = 89

For Laredo:
Median = (98 + 99) / 2
Median = 98.5

Therefore, Laredo has a higher median daily high temperature than Dayton by 9.5 - 9 = 0.5°F.

So, the correct answer is: Laredo has a higher median daily high temperature than Dayton by 0.5°F.
