Question

Find the mean and median of the population in the list. what is the mean of the population? Round your answer to the nearest whole person.

Answer 1

• Mean = 515,034

,

• Median = 514,754

Step-by-step explanation

Mean

To find the mean of a data set we have to add up all the data in the set and then divide by the number of data.

In this case we have to population of 7 cities. The mean is,

`\bar{x}=(894,350+514,754+560,338+484,264+561,926+481,048+108,561)/(7)`
`\bar{x}=(3,605,241)/(7)=515,034.4286`

Rounded to the nearest whole person, the mean is 515,034.

Median

To find the median first we have to write the data in order, from least to gratest:

{108561, 481048, 484264, 514754, 560338, 561926, 894350}

The median is the value that divides the data in two sets with equal number of data. In this case, we have 7 values so the median is the 4th value: 514,754
