MEAN AND MEDINA

Answer 1

Mean is 5.2 Median is $6.00

Explanation:

To find mean u have to find the "average" whereby u add all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers.

($2+$4+$6+$6+$8)= $26. Then since there are 5 numbers in all u divide by 5.

$26÷5 =5.2 5.2 is the median.

Median is the middle number. To find it u have to rearrange the numbers from smallest to largest and find the middle number.

$2, $4, {$6,} $6, $8

$6 is the median.
