Solution:
Explanation:
Step 1: determine the median of the group of 7
Step 2: determine the median of the group of 11
Step 4: compare results of step 1 and 2.
The Astronomy department has a total of 2+10+10+3=25 years of full-time teaching experience. Thus the median is 2, 3, 10, 10 (the average of the two middle numbers) =6,5 years
The Faculty Senate members has a total of 2+1+10+11=24 years thus the median is 1,2,10,11=6 years
The Ethics Council members have a total of 10+10+10+10=40 years thus the median is 10 years
The group of 11 has a total of 2+1+10+11+10+13+10+11+12+10+3=93 years thus the median is 1,2,3,10,10,10,10,11,11,12,13=10 years.
The removal of the Astronomy department will result in a median of less than the group of 11.
The removal of the Faculty Senate will result in a median of less than the group of 11.
The removal of the Ethics Council members will result in a similar median as the group of 11.
