1. 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.9, 1.3, 1.4
2. $10, $8.95, $12.50, $13.95, $10, $12.50

Explanation:

Step1: Arrange data in ascending order

1. $1.2,1.3,1.3,1.4,1.5,1.9$; 2. $\$8.95,\$10,\$10,\$12.50,\$12.50,\$13.95$

Step2: Calculate median for even - numbered data

1. $\frac{1.3 + 1.4}{2}=1.35$; 2. $\frac{10 + 12.50}{2}=\$11.25$

Answer:

1. $1.35$
2. $\$11.25$
