Are the mean and the median the exact same in this distribution? Why or why not?

The following data are the shoe sizes of male students. The sizes are continuous data since shoe size is measured. Construct a histogram and calculate the width of each bar or class interval. Suppose you choose six bars.
Refer todetermine which of the following are true and which are false. Explain your solution to each part in complete sentences.


a. The medians for all three graphs are the same.
b. We cannot determine if any of the means for the three graphs is different.
c. The standard deviation for graph b is larger than the standard deviation for graph a.
d. We cannot determine if any of the third quartiles for the three graphs is different.
Use the following information to answer the next nine exercises: The population parameters below describe the full-time equivalent number of students (FTES) each year at Lake Tahoe Community College from 1976–1977 through 2004–2005.
• μ = 1000 FTES
• median = 1,014 FTES
• σ = 474 FTES
• first quartile = 528.5 FTES
• third quartile = 1,447.5 FTES
• n = 29 years
How many standard deviations away from the mean is the median? Additional Information: The population FTES for 2005–2006 through 2010–2011 was given in an updated report. The data are reported here.

The median age of the U.S. population in 1980 was 30.0 years. In 1991, the median age was 33.1 years.
a. What does it mean for the median age to rise?
b. Give two reasons why the median age could rise.
c. For the median age to rise, is the actual number of children less in 1991 than it was in 1980? Why or why not?
