Fifteen students are randomly selected from two different classes they were asked how many books they read during summer find the median number clas 1: 0 5 3 6 7 8 10 1 1 4 5 6 4 5 6. class2: 2 2 4 3 0 0 6 7 10 9 6 5 3 1 2. Which is the median of class 1 which is the median of class 2 which class has a higher median
To find the median, we first need to arrange the numbers in each class in ascending order:
Class 1: 0, 1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 10
Class 2: 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9, 10
In Class 1, there are 15 numbers, so the median will be the average of the 8th and 9th numbers, which are 5 and 5. So, the median of Class 1 is (5+5)/2 = 5.
In Class 2, there are 15 numbers, so the median will be the 8th number, which is 4. So, the median of Class 2 is 4.
Therefore, Class 1 has a higher median (5) compared to Class 2 (4).
