What is the difference between the mean and median of 3,8,10,15

Ok, so. You can think of the mean being acually mean because you have to do more work. When solving for the mean you add all the answers together then divide by the amount of numbers you have. For example,  you have the numers (1, 2, 3) add them together (1+2+3) to get 6 then divide by 3 (6/3) to get a mean of two. The median is also fairly easy to remember. You line your numbers up least to greatest, left to right. and mark one off of each side at a time. If you have a even amount of numbers and reach the center, you add the two centers together then divide by to to get the median. If you have an odd amount of numbers, there should be one in the exact center left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean) 3+8+10+15=36, 36/4=9 ANSWER=9

Median) 8+10=18, 18/2=9 ANSWER=9

In the case, the mean and median are the same and depending on context you could choose either method. It also helps that there is no outlyer. If there were on I would recomend finding the median.

answer: -1
