Question

An auto manufacturer wants their line of cars to have a median gas mileage of 25 miles per gallon or higher. The gas mileage for their five models are 23,25,26,29, and 19. Do their cars meet their goal? Explain.

Answer 1

They meet their median goal because if you rearrange the numbers from lowest to highest, the median mileage of their line of cars would be 19,23,25,26,29. There are five numbers of car mileages therefore 25 would serve as the median for all five mileages.
