Question

Find the median and mean of the data set below:
35,45,44,24,2,16,23

Answer 1

When you add all the numbers you get 189. Decide then by the number of terms (in this case seven) 189/7 would get you a mean of 27

As for the median, after you line up the numbers from least to greatest, you cross out each one to find the on in the middle. Since this is an odd list of numbers, you add the two middle numbers and divide by 2. This gets a median of 24

In conclusion: mean= 27
median= 24

Answer 2

27

Explanation:

To find the median and mean of the given dataset, let's arrange the numbers in ascending order:

2, 16, 23, 24, 35, 44, 45

Median:

The median is the middle value in a dataset when it is arranged in ascending or descending order. Since the dataset contains an odd number of values (7), the median is the middle number, which is 24.

Mean:

To calculate the mean (also known as the average), we sum up all the values in the dataset and then divide the sum by the total number of values. In this case:

Mean = (2 + 16 + 23 + 24 + 35 + 44 + 45) / 7

Mean = 189 / 7

Mean ≈ 27

So, the median of the given dataset is 24, and the mean is approximately 27.
