NEED HELPPP For 10 consecutive days, Anthony recorded the daily high temperatures in Dayton and Laredo. The table shows the data.
Daily High Temperatures (in °F)
Dayton 77 82 85 87 90 85 79 86 91 88
Laredo 81 79 80 86 88 92 82 88 84 87
Which city has a higher median daily high temperature? How much higher is this city’s median than the other city’s median daily high temperature?
To find the median daily high temperature for each city, we need to first arrange the temperatures in ascending order.
For Dayton:
77, 79, 82, 85, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91
For Laredo:
79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 86, 87, 88, 88, 92
Now, we can find the median for each city:
For Dayton, the median is the middle temperature, which is 86.
For Laredo, the median is the average of the two middle temperatures, which are 84 and 86. So, the median for Laredo is (84 + 86) / 2 = 85.
Therefore, Dayton has a higher median daily high temperature at 86 compared to Laredo's median of 85. The difference is 1 degree Fahrenheit.
