Example Question #1 : How To Find Median
Subtract the mode from the median in this set of numbers:
9080, 9008, 9800, 9099, 9009, 9090, 9008
First, order the numbers from least to greatest:
Then, find the mode (the most recurring number): 9008
Then, find the median (the middle number):
Finally, subtract the mode from the median:
Answer: 72.
Example Question #1 : How To Find Median
Consider the data set:
What is the difference between the mean of this set and the median of this set?
To get the mean, add the numbers and divide by 8:
To get the median, find the mean of the fourth- and fifth-highest elements (the ones in the middle):
The difference is
Example Question #1 : Find Measures Of Center, Variability, And Patterns In Data: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Sp.B.5c
The difference between 2996 and 4515 is closest to
Round 2996 up to 3000 and 4515 down to 4500. The difference between 4500 and 3000 is 1500.
