Answers:

Median = 30.5

Mean = 31.5

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The first task is to sort the items from smallest to largest.

{14, 16, 48, 22, 50, 39​} sorts to {14, 16, 22, 39, 48, 50​}

The median is the middle-most value. Since we have an even number of items here, the middle-most position is a tie between slots 3 and 4

The values in those slots are 22 and 39 respectively. The midpoint of them is (22+39)/2 = 30.5 which is the median

-----------------

To get the mean, we add up the values

14+16+22+39+48+50​ = 189

Then we divide by 6 since there are 6 numbers here

189/6 = 31.5 is the mean
