Answer: The median for the students is 2 and the median for the teachers is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ordering the data for the students from the dot points:
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4.
n = 20 which is positive so median position is average of:
= (n / 2) and = (n + 1) / 2
= 20 / 2 = 21 / 2
= 10 = 10.5
2 is in position 10 2 is in position 10.5
Average = (2 + 2) / 2 = 2
Student median is 2.
Teachers
0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8
3 is in position 10 as well as in position 10.5.
= (3 + 3) / 2
= 3
Teacher median is 3.

48. The surface area of a cylinder is given by
... A = 2πr² + 2πrh = 2πr(r+h)
For r = 13 mi and h = 7 mi, this becomes
... A = 2π(13 mi)(13 mi + 7 mi) = 520π mi²
The surface area of the cylinder is 520π mi² ≈ 1634 mi².
49. The surface area of a rectangular prism is
... A = 2(LW + H(L+W))
For L = 20 m, W = 10 m, H = 7 m, this becomes
... A = 2((20 m)(10 m) + (7 m)(20 m + 10 m)) = 2(200 m² + 210 m²) = 820 m²
The surface area of the prism is 820 m².
50. The formula is the same as for problem 48.
For r = 10 m and h = 13 m, this becomes
... A = 2π(10 m)(10 m + 13 m) = 460π m² ≈ 1445 m²
The surface area of the cylinder is 460π m² ≈ 1445 m².
