It's an adverb, so it can modify either "similar" or "different." For instance, you could say that two brothers look starkly similar. You could also say that turnips and sweet potatoes are both root vegetables but are starkly different in taste. In practice, "starkly" is used most frequently to indicate difference.

Yes they can. That is why we have them. We would not need both if they always gave the same value. A mean is the total of numbers divided by the amount of numbers. A median is the middle value in the list when it is in numerical order. Usually they are similar, but not always the same. If there is an extreme number, much different than all the others, then the mean and median will be very different. Take 1, 3, 4, 7, 900. 4 is the Median. 183 is the mean. 183 is not very representative of the set, which is why a median actually works better here.
