Question 13

To investigate the impact of an advanced flight-deck interface, an aviation psychologist measured the performance of trainee pilots in a high-fidelity flight simulator. Twelve trainees were recruited via a voluntary participation scheme. In the first phase, participants completed a standard landing sequence and recorded the number of flight path deviations they committed (Standard Display). In the second phase, the simulator's Heads-Up Display (HUD) upgrade was activated, and the same trainees repeated the sequence, recording their deviations again (With HUD). The results are shown in the table below.

Calculate the median and range for the number of deviations committed in the phase with the Heads-Up Display (HUD) upgrade. Show your workings.
