At a nature preserve, a wildlife biologist counted bald eagles from an observation deck at the same time each day for 21 days. The table summarizes the resulting data set, data set A.
The data value 19 was recorded in error and is removed from data set A to create data set B, which consists of the remaining 20 data values. Which statement best compares the median of data set A and the median of data set B?
The data value 19 was recorded in error and is removed from data set A to create data set B, which consists of the remaining 20 data values. Which statement best compares the median of data set A and the median of data set B?
A
The median of data set B is less than the median of data set A.
B
The median of data set B is equal to the median of data set A.
C
The median of data set B is greater than the median of data set A.
D
There is not enough information to compare the medians of the two data sets.
