The restaurant has difficulty preparing

the fresh lumpia. Should they phase it
out?

4
SOLUTION

First, we need to know its rank:

4 5 5 6 6 7 8 9
median

The median is 6.5. Fresh Lumpia’s rank is below

the median but above the first quartile. By
phasing out this dish, the restaurant might lose
6 out of every 50 customers. It is better to
retain it in the menu.
