Determine the median value for foot width for males and for females.

The data set is missing in the provided question,however the correct data set is provided with answer :

Median value :

For males: 9.25

For females: 7.65

Explanation:

Median value is the value that separates higher half to lower half values and is the center point of values of the given set. The method of the finding the median is to arrange the set in order of least to highest value and then if the set of values are even than it is the mid point of the set and in the even set the mean of the middlemost values would be median of the set.

Arranging set in ascending order

For males: 4.5, 7.5, 9, 9, 9.2, 9.3, 10, 10, 10.5, 13.

For females:  5, 7, 7, 7.5, 7.5, 7.8, 7.8, 8, 8, 17

For males mean of the middlemost number is : 9.3+9.2/2 = 9.25

For females mean of the middlemost number is : 7.5+7.8/2 = 7.65

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
