For Pizza Shop 1:
Delivery times: 18, 23, 15, 22, 21, 24, 28, 20
Arrange in ascending order: 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28
Median = (20 + 21) / 2 = 20.5
For Pizza Shop 2:
Delivery times: 20, 17, 16, 38, 21, 20, 18, 25
Arrange in ascending order: 16, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 25, 38
Median = (20 + 21) / 2 = 20.5
Based on the medians, both Pizza Shop 1 and Pizza Shop 2 have the same median delivery time of 20.5 minutes, so they have the same speed of delivery.
Kat and Joshua want to know which pizza shop has the fastest delivery time. Kat took a random sample of 8 delivery times from pizza shop 1 over a period of six months. Joshua did the same for pizza shop 2. The delivery times (in minutes) for each pizza shop are shown in the following table.
Pizza Shop 1 Pizza Shop 2
18 20
23 17
15 16
22 38
21 21
24 20
28 18
20 25

Pizza shop 1 is wrong
Apologies for the error in the previous calculation for Pizza Shop 1. Let's recalculate the median for Pizza Shop 1:
For Pizza Shop 1:
Delivery times: 18, 23, 15, 22, 21, 24, 28, 20
Arrange in ascending order: 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28
Since the sample size is 8 (even number):
The median will be the average of the two middle numbers:
Median = (21 + 22) / 2 = 21.5
For Pizza Shop 2:
Delivery times: 20, 17, 16, 38, 21, 20, 18, 25
Arrange in ascending order: 16, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 25, 38
Median = (20 + 21) / 2 = 20.5
So, based on the corrected medians, Pizza Shop 2 has the fastest delivery time with a median delivery time of 20.5 minutes, compared to Pizza Shop 1 with a median delivery time of 21.5 minutes.

So, based on the corrected medians, Pizza Shop 2 has the fastest delivery time with a median delivery time of 20.5 minutes, compared to Pizza Shop 1 with a median delivery time of 21.5 minutes.
Pizza shop 1 time has to be lower than pizza shop 2
Apologies for the oversight. Let's recalculate the medians for both Pizza Shop 1 and Pizza Shop 2:
For Pizza Shop 1:
Delivery times: 18, 23, 15, 22, 21, 24, 28, 20
Arrange in ascending order: 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28
Since the sample size is 8 (even number):
The median will be the average of the two middle numbers:
Median = (21 + 22) / 2 = 21.5
For Pizza Shop 2:
Delivery times: 20, 17, 16, 38, 21, 20, 18, 25
Arrange in ascending order: 16, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 25, 38
Median = (20 + 21) / 2 = 20.5
Based on the corrected medians, Pizza Shop 2 still has the fastest delivery time with a median delivery time of 20.5 minutes, compared to Pizza Shop 1 with a median delivery time of 21.5 minutes. Thank you for pointing out the error.
