Example Question #41 : Mean

Consider the data set: \(\displaystyle \left \{ 13, 18, 20, 22, 24, 29, 30, 36\right \}\)

What is the difference between the mean of this set and the median of this set?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 1.5\)

\(\displaystyle 1\)

\(\displaystyle 2\)

\(\displaystyle 0.5\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 1\)

Explanation:

To get the mean, add the numbers and divide by 8:

\(\displaystyle \left ( 13+ 18+ 20+ 22+ 24+ 29+ 30+ 36 \right )\div 8 = 192 \div 8 = 24\)

To get the median, find the mean of the fourth- and fifth-highest elements (the ones in the middle):

\(\displaystyle (22 + 24) \div 2 = 46 \div 2 = 23\)

The difference is \(\displaystyle 24-23 = 1\)

Example Question #25 : How To Find Median

Find the median in this set of numbers:

\(\displaystyle 598, 589, 588, 598, 599\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 588\)

\(\displaystyle 598\)

\(\displaystyle 589\)

\(\displaystyle 599\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 598\)

Explanation:

First, order the numbers from least to greatest:

\(\displaystyle 588, 589, 598, 598, 599\)

Then, identify the middle number: \(\displaystyle 598\)

Answer: The median is 598.
