Answer 1

Answer:

B. The mean is $1.60 greater than the median

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks the required table. Find the table in the attachment below.

The mean is the ratio of the sum of the total fund raisers to the number of years.

$\overline x = \sum Xi/N$

Xi are the individual funds

N is the number of years = 5

Mean = 896+925+880+963+914/5

Mean = $915.6

Median is the value at the middle after rearrangement. Arrangement can either be ascending or descending order.

On rearrangement, 896, 880, 914, 925, 963

Median = $914

Taking the difference of mean and median value;

Difference = $915.6 - $914 = $1.60

This shows that the mean is $1.60 greater than the median
