Question

Find the mean and median of the set of the numbers 2, 6, 3, 6, 1, 6

Answer 1

Mean: 4

Median: 4.5

Explanation:

To find the mean, add all numbers then divide the sum by the amount of numbers in the set.

2 + 6 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 6 = 24

24 ÷ 6 = 4

To find the median, put the numbers in numerical order. Since there is an even amount of numbers in this set, take the middle two numbers and add them. Divide the sum by 2.

2, 6, 3, 6, 1, 6 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 6, 6

3 + 6 = 9

9 ÷ 2 = 4.5

Answer 2

Mean:4

Median:4.5

Step-by-step explanation: Order the numbers from least to greatest then add all the numbers up and divide by that may numbers to find the mean. Then find the middle number if there are two then add them and divide by two to find the median.
