What is the difference between the mean and the median of the following data:
5, 7, 8, 13, 12, 14, 9, 2, 26, 10 ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Mean = \(\frac{Sum \; of \; numbers}{number \; of \; term}\)
⇒ Mean = \(\frac{106}{10}\)= 10.6
⇒ Ascending order = 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 26
⇒ Median = \(\frac{9 + 10}{2}\) = 9.5
⇒ The difference between the mean and the median = 10.6 - 9.5 = 1.1
