Question

The median of these numbers is
how much less than the mean?
1.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.85, 5.3

Answer 1

The median of the numbers is 3.66 less than the mean

Explanation:

To find the median, find the middle of the numbers

0.6, 0.7, 0.85, 1.5, 5.4

To find the mean, add all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers

0.6 + 0.7 + 0.85 + 15 + 5.4 = 22.55

22.55/5 = 4.51

To find how less, subtract the median from the mean

4.51 - 0.85 = 3.66
