Answer 1

The Median is the middle value.

Arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

Seattle:  23.78 , 32.46, 40.30, 45.79, 49.42, 55.14

Since there is an even number, the median is found by adding the 2 middle numbers and dividing by 2.

Median for Seattle: 40.30 + 45.79 = 86.09 / 2 = 43.045

Now do the same for Las Vegas:

2.33, 3.72, 3.84, 4.11, 5.62, 8.79

Median for Las Vegas: 3.84 + 4.11 = 7.95 / 2 = 3.975

Difference: 43.045 - 3.975 = 39.07

The answer is B.

Answer 2

median for Seattle =  (sum of mid 2 values) / 2  =(45.79+40.30)/ 2

= 43.05

median for Las Vegas = (3.84+4.11) / 2

= 3.98

Difference = 43.05 - 3.98

=   39.07  Answer
