What is the difference between the mean and the median of the data set? {22, 8, 10 ,18 ,12, 20} 0 2 4 6

 The correct option is (A) 0.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the difference between the mean and median of the following data set:

{22, 8, 10 ,18 ,12, 20}.

MEAN:  It is the sum of all the values together divided by the number of values in the set.

So, the MEAN of the given data set is

MEDIAN: The median of a data set is given by the middle-most value in the data.

If there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean of the two middlemost numbers.

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22.

Since there are 6 values, that is even number of values. so the MEDIAN is given by

Therefore, m = M.

That is, mean and median of the given data are equal.

Hence, the difference is

m - M = 15 - 15 = 0.

Thus, option (A) is CORRECT.
