[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the median number of video games played by each class, we first need to reorder the data in each class in ascending order:

Class 1: 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 10, 12
Class 2: 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9, 10, 10

Now, calculating the medians:

For Class 1, since there are 13 data points, the median is the average of the 7th and 8th numbers. So, the median for Class 1 is (4+5)/2 = 4.5.

For Class 2, since there are 13 data points, the median is the 7th number. So, the median for Class 2 is 5.

Therefore, Class 1 has a higher median number of video games played in a week compared to Class 2.
