Re: Sales of wines declined in the 1980s

Rgds,
Abhi

Re: Last month 15 homes were sold in Town X

Hi, This is how I approached the problem Instead of working with 15 numbers, I worked with only 3, because we know the median so the count of number that is either more or less than the median will always be equal. the 3 numbers I choose were 1 --- 2 --- 3 Max of Min --- Median --- Min of Max 130 --...
