If H = {1, 7, 18, 20, 29, 33}, how much less is the mean of the numbers in H than the median of the numbers in H? Choose the correct answer
A) 1.0 B) 1.5 C) 2.0 D) 2.5 E) 3.0

Rationale: this is a good question to understand the difference between mean and median . mean : average of all the numbers . ( sum of all the elements divided by the number of elements ) median : arrange the elements of the set in increasing order . if the number of terms is odd , the middle term is the median . if the number of terms is even , the average of middle two terms is the median coming to this question , mean = ( 1 + 7 + 18 + 20 + 29 + 33 ) / 6 = 18 median = ( 18 + 20 ) / 2 = 19 difference = 1 option a
Answer: A
