Question

Hi I really do need help with this question. You don’t have to show work but it says we have to explain our answer.

Answer 1

The Solution:

Pattern A: start with 1 and add 3.

`1,\text{ 4, 7, 10, 13}`

Pattern B: Start with 1 and add 4.

`1,\text{ 5, 9, 13, 17}`

Comparing the two patterns, we have that:

Recall:

Median means the middle number.

The median of pattern A is 7 while that of pattern B is 9.

Thus, the median of pattern B is more than the median of pattern A by 2.
