Measures of the Location of the Data · Exercise 18

The median age for U.S. ethnicity A currently is 30.9 years; for U.S. ethnicity B, it is 42.3 years.
(a) Based on this information, give two reasons why ethnicity A median age could be lower than the ethnicity B median age.
(b) Does the lower median age for ethnicity A necessarily mean that ethnicity A die younger than ethnicity B? Why or why not?
(c) How might it be possible for ethnicity A and ethnicity B to die at approximately the same age but for the median age for ethnicity B to be higher?

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
