Example Question #1 : How To Find Median
Consider the data set:
What is the difference between the mean of this set and the median of this set?
To get the mean, add the numbers and divide by 8:
To get the median, find the mean of the fourth- and fifth-highest elements (the ones in the middle):
The difference is
