What is difference between mean and median of the given data: 4, 6, 3, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 5? |
5 1.5 3 4.5 |
1.5 |
Mean = \(\frac{Sum \; of \; numbers}{number \; of \; term}\) ⇒ Mean = \(\frac{(4 + 6 + 3 + 7 + 10 + 13 + 16 + 5) }{8}\)= 8 ⇒ Ascending order = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13, 16 ⇒ Median = \(\frac{6 + 7}{2}\) = 6.5 ⇒ The difference between the mean and the median = 8 - 6.5 = 1.5 |
