Answer:

36.5 is median Temperature for girls

Explanation:

Let's first calculate the median Temperature for boys to show you how it is done;

Below are the Temperature, they are not in ascending order

37.0,36.1,37.1,37.3,36.3,36.4,36.7,36.7,36.7,35.8

Now let's arrange them in ascending order

35.8, 36.1, 36.3, 36.4, (36.7, 36.7, )36.7, 37.0, 37.1, 37.3

In the middle are 36.7 and 36.7 as seen in the bracket

to find median = 36.7+36.7/2

➟ 73.4/2

➟ 36.7

∴36.7 is median Temperature for boys

Now that I've shown you example with boys temperature let's go find the actual temperature which is girls

Below are temperature for girls

34.7,35.8,35.9,36.2,36.4,36.6,36.6,36.8,36.8,36.9

Let's arrange them in ascending order

34.7, 35.8, 35.9, 36.2,( 36.4, 36.6, )36.6, 36.8, 36.8, 36.9

In the middle are 36.4 and 36.6 as seen in the bracket

to find median = 36.4+36.6/2

➟ 73/2

➟ 36.5

∴36.5 is median Temperature for girls
