Question 947142: I keep trying to get help with this problem but nobody answers. HELP. On an algebra test taken by all but one student in a class, the mean score is 82 and the median score is 81.5. All test scores were integers between 0 and 100 inclusive. The student who was absent takes the test later and scores 86. Find the absolute value of the difference between the mean and the least possible median for all of the 25 students in the class who took the test. Express your answer as an exact decimal. Thanks for your help.

Question 957864: What is the relative value of the following:
A sedan will drive 10 miles north, 15 miles east, 13 miles south, 15 miles west, and 22 miles north.
I have absolute value of 10n+15e+13s+15w+22n= 75 miles
But relative value has me stumped. I have 10n+15e-13s-15w+22n=19 relative
Is this right?
