To find the median, we need to first arrange the data points in each company in ascending order:
Company A: 27, 28, 30, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, 45, 48, 50, 52
Company B: 29, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 40, 43, 43, 44, 45, 48, 48, 49, 51
Since both companies have an even number of data points (16), the median will be the average of the two middle values. In this case, the two middle values are the 8th and 9th values in each company:
Median of Company A = (40 + 41) / 2 = 40.5
Median of Company B = (40 + 43) / 2 = 41.5
Therefore, the median for Company A is 40.5 and the median for Company B is 41.5.
whats the median?
Company A: 34,28,36,27,45,44,30,42,41,40,50,48,52,45,39,38
Company B: 29,32,48,51,49,37,33,35,36,40,45,48,43,43,44,48
