List p contains m numbers; list q contains n numbers. if the two lists are combined to produce list r, containing m + n numbers, is the median of list r greater than the median of list p? (1) the smallest number in list q is greater than the largest number in list p. (2) m = n

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write out the expressions

P= {m}

Q= {n}

R= {m+n}

If 2m=n then we can say;

P= {½n} Q= {n} & R= {³/²n}

It is obvious that the smaller number in Q is greater than the largest number in P

We can make some assumptions.

Let n= (x,y,z)

Consequently,

P={½x,½y,½z} Q={x,y,z} and R= {1.5x,1.5y,1.5z}

Therefore the median will be the middle element,

Median of P= ½y

Median of Q = y

Median of R = 1.5y

And 1.5y>1.5y

Then we can agree that the median of R is greater than the median of both P and Q

no, because the sides are not congruent
