To determine the difference between the mean and the median of the data on the dot plot, we first need the values represented in the plot to calculate the mean and median. Since you haven’t provided the specific data from the dot plot, I can guide you on how to calculate the mean and median.
Steps to calculate:
-
Calculate the Mean:
- Add all the data points together.
- Divide the sum by the total number of data points.
-
Calculate the Median:
- Order the data points from least to greatest.
- If there is an odd number of data points, the median is the middle value.
- If there is an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle values.
-
Difference:
- Subtract the median from the mean: \( \text{Difference} = \text{Mean} - \text{Median} \).
After you calculate the values for mean and median, round the difference to the nearest tenth to find your answer.
If you provide the actual data points from the dot plot, I can assist you further in calculating the exact difference.
