Earthquake intensities are measured using a device called a seismograph, which is designed
to be most sensitive to earthquakes with intensities between 4.0 and 9.0 on the Richter scale.
Measurements of nine earthquakes gave the following readings:
where L indicates that the earthquake had an intensity below 4.0 and an H indicates that the
earthquake had an intensity above 9.0. The median earthquake intensity of the sample is
-5.75.
-6.00.
