Question

mike was in charge of collecting contributions for the food bank he received contrubutiins of $50,$80,$60,$50, and $90 find the mean and median of the contributions

Answer 1

First order the values in numerical order
50,50,60,80,90
To find the mean add all the values together and divide them
(50+50+60+80+90)/5=66
The mean is $66
To find the median, find the middle number of the group,
that middle number would be 60,
The median would be $60

Answer 2

Mean = 66, Median = 60

Explanation:

Mike was in-charge of collecting contributions for the food bank.

He received contributions, data is given below.

$50, $80, $60, $50, and $90

To find the mean we add all the numbers and then divide it to the number of the values.

Mean =
`((50+80+60+50+90))/(5)`

=
`(330)/(5)`

Mean = 66

To find the median first we arrange the values in lowest to greatest order.

50, 50, 60, 80, 90

Median is the middle number of the data set.

Therefore median would be $60
