A set S = {x, -8, -5, -3, 3, 6, 9, y} with elements arranged in increasing order. If the median and the mean of the set are the same, what is the value of |x|-|y|? Choices.
A) 2
B) 0
C) -1
D) Cannot be determined
E) 1
Median of the set = (-3+3)/2=

<output>0</output>
0   2s per statement, Mean of the set= 0   Mean of the set   |y|- |x| +18-16 = 0 (where x is negative n y is positive)   |y|- |x| = -2   So the absolute difference between two numbers is 2   2nswer 2
