Question: You got a dream job working on the timing team for long-track speed skating at the Vancouver Olympics. Your job is to keep track of the mean and median times at the end of each day of racing (apparently it is important for the icemakers to know about this sort of thing). On the day of the women's 1000 meter race you've calculated that the (arithmetic) mean time of all the racers is 1:15 and the median time is 1:20. Are you comfortable reporting these times to the head icemaker or do you want to recalculate them (given the additional information that Cindy Klassen (Canadian, of course) holds the world record time in this race of 1:13.11). Why?
