Question

What does it mean if the mean and median of a data set differ greatly?

Answer 1

Significantly different results.

Explanation:

It means that the values of the set of data are very different to each other.

For example,

`1, 3, 25, 96, 364, 9086`

`mean = 1+3+25+96+364+9086/6~~1596`
`median = 25+96/2=60.5`

Here you can see that the mean and the median of a set of data differ greatly.
