Solution

To find the median of a set of numbers, you first need to arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest. If the set of numbers is even, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. If the set of numbers is odd, the median is the middle number.

Here are the amounts spent by the friends, arranged from least to greatest: 1200, 1500, 1500, 1700, 2000, 2500, 3200, 3500, 3800.

Since there are 9 numbers, which is an odd number, the median is the middle number. In this case, the median amount spent is 2000 Rupees.

A consumer's spending is widely believed to be a function of their income. To estimate this relationship, a university professor randomly selected 19 of his students and collected information on their spending (Y, in dollars) and income (X, in dollars) patterns in week 6 of the semester. Assuming a linear relationship between Y and X, the professor used the least-squares method and found that the Y intercept = 20.90 and the slope = 0.66. Also, the sum of squares total (SST) and the regression sum of squares (SSR) were equal to 65600.74 and 52831.23, respectively.
