A neurobiologist investigated the transmission speed of nerve impulses across synapses in the mammalian nervous system. They measured the synaptic delay (the time taken for a neurotransmitter to diffuse across the synaptic cleft and initiate an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron) across six different synapses.
| Synapse | Synaptic delay (msmsms) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.88 |
| 2 | 2.15 |
| 3 | 1.55 |
| 4 | 2.02 |
| 5 | 1.72 |
| 6 | 2.50 |
Which of the following is the median synaptic delay for these synapses?
1.79 ms1.79\text{ ms}1.79 ms
1.95 ms1.95\text{ ms}1.95 ms
1.97 ms1.97\text{ ms}1.97 ms
2.03 ms2.03\text{ ms}2.03 ms
