An experiment was made to measure the mean number of axe strikes that is necessary to cut a tree trunk. A total of 16 identical tree trunks were cut by a randomly chosen person, and the following data (number of axe strikes) was collected: 52, 54, 56, 55, 57, 47, 53, 45, 46, 48, 55, 57, 51, 54, 56, 52. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the median number of strikes is 50?
