Question

the list shows the number of dollars pablo saved each week. 4,7,6,2,10,4 what is the difference between the mean and the median of these amounts?

Answer 1

`A)0.50`

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

find the mean

The mean is a type of average. It is the sum (total) of all the values in a set of data, such as numbers or measurements, divided by the number of values on the list. ... Then divide the sum by how many values there are

Step 2

The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. ... If there is an odd amount of numbers, the median value is the number that is in the middle, with the same amount of numbers below and above, to find teh median, reorden and check

`\begin{gathered} 4,7,6,2,10,4 \\ 4,7,6,2,10,4\rightarrow2,4,4,6,7,10 \\ \text{total numbers=6} \end{gathered}`

If you have an even number, divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median

Step 3

find the difference

`d=5.5-5=0.5`

I hope this helps you
