Answer

Jan. 2011$:\quad [236\quad 127 \quad 136\quad 191]$ Feb. 2011$:\quad [230\quad 122 \quad 135\quad 190]$

Work Step by Step

The table suggests three matrices: $A=[238\quad 140 \quad 149\quad 205]$ $B=[-2\quad -13 \quad -13\quad -14]$ $C=[-6\quad -5 \quad -1\quad -1]$ The median price in Jan. 2011 is obtained by $A+B=[238-2\quad 140-13 \quad 149-13\quad 205-14]$ $=[236\quad 127 \quad 136\quad 191]$ The median price in Feb. 2011 is obtained by $A+B-C=[236-6\quad 127-5 \quad 136-1\quad 191-1]$ $=[230\quad 122 \quad 135\quad 190]$
