Comparison of Mean and Median in Study Hours Dataset

A researcher is analyzing a dataset that contains the number of hours spent studying each week by a group of 10 students. The dataset is as follows:

Hours Spent Studying: 15, 18, 20, 22, 16, 24, 19, 21, 17, 23

From this dataset, the researcher calculated the following:

• Mean
• Median
• Standard Deviation

Using these statistics, the researcher wants to compare the mean and median to draw a conclusion about the distribution of hours spent studying. Which statement accurately describes the relationship between the mean and the median?
