Question

What are the similarities and differences between these data sets in terms of their centers and their variability?

Data Set A: 14, 21, 24, 28, 28, 35

Data Set B: 18, 19, 21, 25, 29, 32

Comparing the centers of the data sets, the median for Data Set A is (Less than, Greater than, or Equal to) the median for Data Set B. The mean for Data Set A is (Less than, Greater than, or equal to) the mean for Data Set B.

Answer 1

Median of Set A = (24+28)/2 = 26
Median of Set B = (21+25)/2 = 23

Median of A is greater than median of B.

The mean of the stes = sum of the numbers / 6:-

Mean Set A = 150/6 = 25
Mean Set B = 144 / 6 = 24

Mean of Set A is greater than mean of set B.
