The mean of Data Set 1 is 12 and the median is 12. The mean of Data Set 2 is 16 and the median is 18.5. The mean of Data Set 1 is lower than the mean of Data Set 2, while the median of Data Set 1 is lower than the median of Data Set 2. This indicates that Data Set 1 has a more even distribution of values, while Data Set 2 has a more skewed distribution of values.
