U sure
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's calculate the medians for both cities:
For Dayton, the temperatures in order are: 77, 82, 85, 87, 90, 85, 79, 86, 91, 88.
The median is the middle value when the data is in order. In this case, the middle value is 85.
For Laredo, the temperatures in order are: 81, 79, 80, 86, 88, 92, 82, 88, 84, 87.
The median is the middle value when the data is in order. In this case, the middle value is 86.
Therefore, Laredo has a higher median daily high temperature than Dayton by 1°F.
