Answer 2

Median highland = 16 mm

Median lowland = 16 mm

Explanation:

For the highland area :

The sample size, n = 44

Obtain the median value using :

1/2 * (n + 1)th term

1/2 * (44 +1) th term

1/2 * 45 = 22.5th term.

(22nd + 23rd) term / 2

(16 + 16) / 2 = 16 mm

For the lowland area :

1/2 * (n + 1)th term

1/2 * (44 +1) th term

1/2 * 45 = 22.5th term.

(22nd + 23rd) term / 2

(12 + 12) / 2 = 12 mm
