Question

Mira's six test scores are given. What is the
positive difference between the mean of the
scores and the median of the scores?
86, 72, 92, 62, 99, 93

Answer 1

Answer:

First, we need to find the mean and median of the scores.

Mean:

86+72+92+62+99+93=504

There are 6 test scores, so:

504 ÷ 6 = 84

Median:

62, 72, 86, 92, 93, 99

86 + 92 = 172

172 ÷ 2 = 86

The answer would be:

Mean: 84

Median: 86

Answer 2

84 is the mean and 86 is the median
