In the question, we are given the result from the two doctors

Doctor 1 : 5, 10, 10, 15, 20, 20, 20, 100

Doctor 2: 10, 10, 10, 20, 20, 20, 25, 25

Firstly, we need to calculate the median

The median = n / 2

The two numbers at the middle are 15 and 20

To calculate the median, we need to calculate the average of the two numbers

Median = 15 + 20 / 2

= 35 / 2

= 17.5

For the first doctor the median of the waiting time is 17.5

Second doctor

We need to calculate the median as well

The middle numbers are 20 and 20

Median = 20 + 20 / 2

Median = 40 / 2

Median = 20

For the second doctor, the median is 20

Therefore, the second doctor is 2.5 longer than the first doctor.
