The following data set represents a highly fuel efficiency in miles per gallon of randomly selected cars from two car companies
Car company a 35, 28, 35, 30, 31, 38, 35, 30
Car company b 29, 33, 36, 27, 34, 34, 34, 25
Which statement is true
The cars from company a have a higher median highway fuel efficiency than company b
The cars from company I have a higher mean highway efficiency than company b
The cars from company b have a higher mode of highway fuel efficiency than company a
The cars from both company have the same mean, meaden, and mode for highway fuel efficiency
The cars from company a have a higher median highway fuel efficiency than company b.
To determine this, we need to calculate the median for each set of data.
For company a:
35, 28, 35, 30, 31, 38, 35, 30
Arranged in ascending order: 28, 30, 30, 31, 35, 35, 35, 38
Median = (31 + 35) / 2 = 33
For company b:
29, 33, 36, 27, 34, 34, 34, 25
Arranged in ascending order: 25, 27, 29, 33, 34, 34, 34, 36
Median = (29 + 33) / 2 = 31
Therefore, the cars from company a have a higher median highway fuel efficiency than company b.
