Zorluk: OrtaMulti-Statement Boolean Evaluation

The table below presents monthly operational and climate metrics for seven commercial cold-storage logistics facilities operated by a regional food distributor during 2025:

True or False: Among the facilities maintaining an average storage temperature colder than 20C-20^\circ\text{C}, the median monthly operating cost is greater than $180,000\$180,000.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The statement is True because the four facilities with average storage temperatures strictly below 20C-20^\circ\text{C} (F-1, F-3, F-5, and F-6) have monthly operating costs of $144,000\$144,000, $175,000\$175,000, $198,000\$198,000, and $260,000\$260,000. The median of these four values is 175+1982×1000=$186,500\frac{175 + 198}{2} \times 1000 = \$186,500, which is strictly greater than $180,000\$180,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Filter the facilities based on the specified temperature condition.
Identified facilities F-1 (22C-22^\circ\text{C}), F-3 (25C-25^\circ\text{C}), F-5 (22C-22^\circ\text{C}), and F-6 (24C-24^\circ\text{C}). Facility F-4 (20C-20^\circ\text{C}) is excluded because 20C-20^\circ\text{C} is not strictly colder than 20C-20^\circ\text{C}.
The criterion requires temperatures strictly below 20C-20^\circ\text{C}.
2
Extract and order the monthly operating costs (in thousands of dollars) for the filtered subset.
Ordered values: 144,175,198,260144, 175, 198, 260.
Sorting values in ascending order is necessary to calculate the median.
3
Calculate the median of the four operating cost values.
Median=175+1982=186.5\text{Median} = \frac{175 + 198}{2} = 186.5 thousand dollars, which equals $186,500\$186,500.
For an even number of observations (n=4n = 4), the median is the mean of the 2nd and 3rd ordered values.
4
Compare the calculated median to the threshold value in the statement.
$186,500>$180,000\$186,500 > \$180,000, confirming the statement is True.
The median operating cost exceeds the threshold of $180,000\$180,000.
