The question asks for the difference between the median percent of agricultural land for these 9 countries and the median for all countries, which is given as 34.95%. Find the median of the 9 countries given by crossing out the greatest and least values in pairs until only one value remains. Number the countries in order of increasing percent of land area, then cross out in pairs of the highest and lowest numbers on the list. Cross out Greenland and Mexico, Canada and Turkey, Russian Federation and United States, and Latvia and New Zealand. The country remaining, Brazil, is the median. Therefore, the median percentage is 33.8. Find the difference by subtracting: 34.95−33.8=1.15%. The correct answer is (A).
