Answer 2

Answer:

Mean is the average value

⇒ mean = 6.17

Median is the central value of a data set.

in this question we have 8 different number, and we have to find the median of these numbers.

Let’s write them in ascending order

6.10, 6.10, 6.15, 6.18, 6.20, 6.20, 6.21, 6.25

the two central values are

and

, i.e., 4th and 5th numbers

which are 6.18 and 6.20

⇒

⇒ median = 6.19

The mean and median are approximately same because all of the data are very near to each other.
