First, put the data set from least to greatest.

10, 18, 6, 11, 12 → 6, 10, 11, 12, 18

________

Find the median with finding what the middle value of the data set is.

6, 10, 11, 12, 18

Median is 11.

________

Find the mean with adding all the numbers and dividing it by how many numbers their are.

6 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 18 = 57

57 / 5 = 11.4

Mean is 11.4

________
