To find the difference between the medians of the two classes, we first need to determine the medians of each class.
Let's denote the two classes as Class A and Class B.
Class A:
Miles run per week: 15, 18, 22, 25, 28
The median of Class A is the middle number when the data is ordered from least to greatest. In this case, the median is 22.
Class B:
Miles run per week: 17, 20, 21, 23, 26
The median of Class B is the middle number when the data is ordered from least to greatest. In this case, the median is 21.
Now, we can find the difference between the medians:
Difference = Median of Class A - Median of Class B
Difference = 22 - 21
Difference = 1
Therefore, the difference between the medians of the two classes is 1. Class A has a higher median by 1 mile per week.
The data shows the number of miles run per week by randomly selected students from two different classes find the difference between the medians which class has a higher median by how much
