Mean = add all values and divide by the number of values
Median = Middle values
• Male:
Mean = (63+78+60+91+95+83+52+67+52+61+54+56+64+68+98)/ 15 =1042/15 = 69.467
Mean = 69.467
Median ( order from lower to higher )
52 - 52 -54-56 - 60-61-63-64-67-68-78-83-91-95-98
Median : 64
• Female:
Mean : (69+63+91+90+91+90+90+87+92+80+68+94+86+62+84)/15 =1237/15
Mean = 82.467
Median: 62-63-68-69-80-84-86-87-90-90-90-91-91-92-94
Median= 87
