Set Q: {-4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6}
Set P: {1, 3, 5, 7}

So, set M = {-4, -2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

Median of set M: Since set M has an EVEN number of values, the median is equal to the mean of the 2 middlemost values.
{-4, -2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
So, the median of set M = (2 + 3)/2 = 5/2 = 2.5

Mean of set M = [(-4) + (-2) + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7]/10 = 22/10 = 2.2

How much greater is the median of Set M than the mean of Set M?
2.5 - 2.2 = 0.3

Answer: D

Set Q is {-4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6}.

Set P is {1, 3, 5, 7}

Set M is {-4, -2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

We can see that the median of set M is the average of the two middle values: (2 + 3)/2 = 2.5. The sum of the numbers in set M is -6 + 28 = 22. Therefore, the mean of set M is 22/10 = 2.2. So the median is 2.5 - 2.2 = 0.3 greater than the mean.

Answer: D

Set Q: {-4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6}
Set P: {1, 3, 5, 7}
Combining both the sets
set M = {-4, -2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

Median of set M is (2+3)/2 = 2.5
Mean of set M = 2.2
difference 0.3

Hence D
