Answer 1

The mean "is greater than" the median.

Answer 2

3. Greater than

Median is the middle number of the data set. But in this senario, there are 2 numbers in the middle. So you can take 4+5/2=4.5

To find Mean, you can must take all the numbers in the data set divided by the number of data collected.

In this case, (3+3+4+5+5+9)÷6

You will find that the mean is greater than the median.
