Answer:
Absolute difference between the medians = 0.35
Step-by-step explanation:
After arranging Q in ascending order excluding s, we get
Q = {1.1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.1, 2.3}
Here, the median is 1.7 ( The middlemost value is the required median.)
Now, if s < 1.7,
Q= {1.1, s, 1.4, 1.7, 2.1, 2.3}
Now for the least value, median = 1.55
If s > 1.7,
Q = {1.1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.1, s, 2.3}
Now for the greatest value, median = 1.9
Absolute difference between the medians = |1.9 -1.55|
= 0.35
= 2 1/3 ← Mixed Fraction
= 4 5/9
= 1 4/5
