Subject: [R] How to Compare the median to the mean?
Okay, so I have a homework projecr for R, and we had to input the
following
link as some sort of data:
nb10 <- read.table("http://www.adjoint-functors.net/su/web/314/R/NB10").
Afterwards, we have to use
fivenum(nb10) to find max, min, quantiles, and sd, but I'm okay with
this.
The next question is where I'm stuck. The question is as follows;
Compare the median (use the quantiles or median(nb10$V1)) to the mean. I
found the mean to be 408.8 and the median to be 404. Can you please
explain
to me what I need to put into the program to get an answer and explain
what
the answer means?
Thank You.
