Answer: There is no difference.

Step-by-step explanation: The median and mean are both 15.

Slade Maynard · Answer 2

Let's sort first,

8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22

We can quickly add these up as 8+22 + 10+20 + 12+18 = 3 (30) = 90

so the mean is 90/6 = 15

The median is the middle one. We have six so we take the average of the two middle ones,

median = (12+18) / 2 = 15

That's the same as the mean.
