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?

Class 1: 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 4, 5, 8, 2, 7, 7, 5, 10, 12, 11
Class 2: 6, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 9, 10, 11, 5, 8, 7, 4, 10

Class 1 has a higher median than Class 2 by 0.5 mile.

To find the median, we first need to arrange the data in order:

Class 1: 2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 14
Median of Class 1: (8+8)/2 = 8

Class 2: 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12
Median of Class 2: 7

The difference between the medians is:
8 - 7 = 1 mile

Therefore, Class 1 has a higher median by 1 mile.
