Question

Eric is comparing the credit scores of his friends. The scores he gathered are found in the list below.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B) The mean is 1 point higher than the median.

Explanation:

First we write these scores in order from least to greatest. (Since these are credit scores, they are not negative numbers).

588, 605, 691, 725, 732, 750, 818, 838, 846

To find the median, we find the middle value of this ordered list. The middle value is 732.

To find the mean, we first add together all of the data points:

588+605+691+725+732+750+818+838+846 = 6593

Now we divide by the number of data points, 9:

6593/9 = 732.56 ≈ 733

This is higher than the median by

733 - 732 = 1 point.

Answer 2

Okay, So To Find The Mean, We Need To Look At The Values.
-588,-838,-691,-818,-846,-725,-605,-732,-750
So, We Add Them, Then Divide.
-588+-838+-691+-818+-846+-725+-605+-732+-750
---------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      9
This Is -732.555556.Rounded Is -733
Now, The Median. The Middle Value. 
The Middle Value Is -846.
So, The Mean Is A, 113 Points Higher.
