Question

For a game of basketball, a group of students split into two randomly chosen teams. The heights (cm) of the player are:

TEAM A (height-cm)	TEAM B (height-cm)
184	170
168	165
148	169
182	163
178	168
156	167
148	167

Use means and medians to compare the distribution of heights for basketball team A and team B.

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
