I don’t quite agree with the solution. . Median is bigger
The medians match because of how the values line up when ordered. With all 32 trials, the 16th and 17th values are 4 and 5, so the median is (4 + 5)/2 = 4.5. When Lab D is excluded, there are 24 trials left, and the 12th and 13th values are again 4 and 5, so the median is (4 + 5)/2 = 4.5. That is why the result is the same in both cases.
And as a reminder, when you claim something is larger or smaller, you should show the ordered values or the calculation, not just state it.

P.S. When you make a claim, it’s always better to show how you got it so we can address it directly. Throwing out a statement without backing it up is pointless.
