Answer:
Median for sample 1 = 142
Median for sample 2 = 134
Step-by-step explanation:
For Sample 1:
For finding median, the data is first arranged into ascending or descending order. We are arranging the data in ascending order.
120, 130, 132, 136, 139, 142, 142, 144, 156, 165, 167
The formula for calculating the term which will be median is:
Median= ((n+1)/2)
Here in sample 1, n=11
So, putting n=11 in the formula
= ((11+1)/2)
= (12/2)
=6th term
The sixth term is 142, so
Median of sample 1=142
For Sample 2:
For finding median, the data is first arranged into ascending or descending order. We are arranging the data in ascending order.
112, 112, 113, 114, 125, 134, 141, 145, 146, 163, 165
The formula for calculating the term which will be median is:
Median= ((n+1)/2)
Here in sample 2, n=11
So, putting n=11 in the formula
=((11+1)/2)
=(12/2)
=6th term
The sixth term is 134, so
Median of sample 2=134
