Question

In 7 days, Mario cooked 98 pounds of spaghetti. Each day after the first, he cooked 2 more pounds than he cooked than the day before. What is the difference between the average (arithmetic mean) number of pounds of spaghetti he cooked per day and the median number of pounds he cooked during the 7 days?

Answer 1

so I need to do a list of numbers like this:

98, 100, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110.

104 is the median number

add 98+100+102+104+106+108+110=728

divide by seven 728 / 7 = 104

so the difference between the median 104 and the avarage 104 is 0 they are

104=104

hope this helps
