Question

Robin’s scores: 99, 108, 102, 107, 119 Evelyn’s scores: 125, 137, 138, 145, 145 Find and compare the medians of the data sets. Do the medians support your conclusion that Robin is winning the game?

Answer 1

The median score for Robin is 107. The Median Score of Evelyn is 138. The medians are the same as the means, so the same conclusion that Robin is winning will be drawn.

Explanation:

Answer 2

To find the median, just sort the numbers from least to greatest and find the number in the center.

Robin's scores: 99, 102, 107, 108, 119. Median is 107.

Evelyn's scores: 125, 137, 138, 145, 145. Median is 138.

The median from Evelyn's scores is greater than the median from Robin's. Therefore, the medians do NOT support the conclusion that Robin is winning the game.
