Answer:
The mean is equal to the median, so the data is symmetrical
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the data.
10 5 8 10 12 6
8 10 15 6 12 18
The given data: 10 5 8 10 12 6 8 10 15 6 12 18
For finding the Mean, we will have to add all numbers together and divide it by total number. i.e sum of terms divided by number of terms
Mean= 10+5+8+10+12+6+8+10+15+6+12+18 ÷ 12
Mean = 120 ÷ 12 = 10
For finding the Median, first we need to rearrange the data in ascending order
5 6 6 8 8 10 10 10 12 12 15 18
We can see that the middle values are 10 and 10. So, the median will be the average of those two middle values.
Median = 10+10 ÷ 2
Median = 20 ÷ 2 = 10
From the calculation, we can see that both the median and mean are equal so, the data is symmetrical
