Question

Finding the median and mean of 11,48,6,25,31

Answer 1

Answer: The mean is 24.2, and the median is 25.

Explanation:

Step 1: Sort the numbers ascending:

6, 11, 25, 31, 48

Step 2: Determine the Average (Mean):

Mean = (total number of numbers / sum of all numbers)

Mean = (6 + 11 + 25 + 31 + 48) / 5 = 121 / 5 = 24.2

Step 3: Determine the Median: The median is the value in a dataset that is in the middle. Because there are an odd number of variables (5), the median will be the third value.

25 is the median value.

As a result, the mean is 24.2, and the median is 25.

Answer 2

Mean = 24.2

Median = 25

Explanation:

Key Concept:

1. The MEAN is the sum of all the numbers divided by how many there are.
2. The MEDIAN is the middle number. But before you find it, you should always make sure that your data has been arranged from the lowest to highest number.

MEAN

We will first add all the numbers in the set:

`\bowtie\qquad\rm{11+48+6+25+31}`

`\bowtie\qquad\rm{121}`

Now, divide by 5:

`\bowtie\qquad\rm{121/5}`

`\bowtie\qquad\rm{24.2}`

Therefore, the mean is 24.2.

MEDIAN

Step One : Arrange the data from the lowest to highest number.

`\bowtie\qquad\rm{6,11,25,31,48}`

The middle number is 25.

Therefore, the median is 25.
