Question

Find the difference between the median and mean of factors of 42.​

Answer 1

Answer:

factors of 42 are 1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42

median=middle term

=6+7/2

=13/2

=6.5

mean=1+2+3+6+7+14+21+42

=96/8

=12

difference between median and mean =6.5 - 12

=- 5.5

Answer 2

Answer:

factors of 42=1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42

mean =sum of all factors/no.of factors

i.e, 1+2+3+6+7+14+21+42/8

=96/8 i.e ,12

median is equal to 6 +7 =13
