Let's reevaluate the data to make sure:
For Dayton:
Arranging the temperatures in ascending order: 77, 79, 82, 85, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91
Median = (86 + 87)/2 = 86.5°F
For Laredo:
Arranging the temperatures in ascending order: 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 86, 87, 88, 88, 92
Median = (84 + 86)/2 = 85°F
So, it is clear that Dayton has a higher median daily high temperature than Laredo by 1°F.
The correct answer is:
Dayton has a higher median daily high temperature than Laredo by 1°F.
