it's not really easy to get 800 in math,unless u make sure that u know every math word verywell. - X" G9 ?7 G4 @/ F# ?4 Y* L$ X( ?i stil remember some of the questions on my test today . W8 M$ u: E6 Y3 h4 i2 s: J ?% p" O7 d

coz the median is the number lies in the middle of the observation. , h6 d, }* i6 K v' |+ ?$ pwhile mean is like the average which is not resistant to outliers
