Answer 1

4.45 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Median is the middle of a given data of distribution.

Given:

Data : 7.1, 21.5, 1.8, 1.6.

Rearrenging the date in decending order

21.5, 7.1, 1.8, 1.6.

From the above,

median = (n+1)th/2

median = (7.1+1.8)/2

median = 8.9/2

median = 4.45 m.

Hence the median height = 4.45 m
