Question
For a particular office building with 1,420 employees, Tia and Amir each conducted a survey about the average one-way commute times, in minutes, between the employees' home and office. Both Tia and Amir selected employees at random, mailed out surveys, and collected data from the returned surveys. For both surveys, respondents were asked to report their average commute times to the nearest 5 minutes. Tia collected data from 150 employees, and Amir collected data from 85 employees. The results from Tia's and Amir's returned surveys are summarized below.
Tia's Survey Results
If T is the median commute time of the employees who responded to Tia's survey and A is the median commute time of the employees who responded to Amir's survey, what is the value of T- A?
- 10
- 8
- 5
- 0
The correct answer is: 5
The median in Tia’s survey results is 35
The median in Amir’s survey results is 30.
The distance is 35 – 30 = 5
