Answer:

The mean is 47.875 and the median is 51

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean you have to add up all of the numbers together, and then divide that number (383) by how many numbers there are (8) so then you would get 47.875. Now you have to find the median. To find the median you have to place the numbers from the lowest to the greatest which would be 42, 51, 51, 51, 55, 64, 69. Then you basically just pick the number in the middle which is 51, so 51 is the median.

Answer:

52.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange the data in an ascending order and the median is the middle value. If the number of values is an even number, the median will be the average of the two middle numbers.
