Answer 5

Mean: (22+26+29+27+24+22+23+20+19+28+26+18+30+31+22+23+26+29+24+21) / 20 = 24.7

To find the median, first sort the numbers in ascending order: 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 26, 26, 26, 27, 28, 29, 29, 30, 31

There are 20 numbers, so the median is the average of the 10th and 11th numbers: (24 + 24) / 2 = 24

Difference: 24.7 - 24 = 0.7

Answer 6

Apologies for the error in my previous response.

Let's recalculate:

Mean: (22+26+29+27+24+22+23+20+19+28+26+18+30+31+22+23+26+29+24+21) / 20 = 24.6

To find the median, first sort the numbers in ascending order: 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 26, 26, 26, 27, 28, 29, 29, 30, 31

There are 20 numbers, so the median is the average of the 10th and 11th numbers: (24 + 24) / 2 = 24

Difference: 24.6 - 24 = 0.6

So, the correct difference between the mean and the median is 0.6.

Answer 7

Apologies for the repeated errors in my responses.

Let's recalculate the mean and median:

Mean: (22+26+29+27+24+22+23+20+19+28+26+18+30+31+22+23+26+29+24+21) / 20 = 24.85

To find the median, first sort the numbers in ascending order: 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 26, 26, 26, 27, 28, 29, 29, 30, 31

There are 20 numbers, so the median is the average of the 10th and 11th numbers: (24 + 24) / 2 = 24

Difference: 24.85 - 24 = 0.85

Therefore, the correct difference between the mean and the median is 0.85.

Answer 8

Yes, now the correct difference between the mean and the median of the dataset is 0.85. Thank you for your patience.
