Median:

Answer 1

Mean: 27

Median: 25

Explanation:

The mean is the average, which can be calculated as sum of the values / number of values.

Sum of values: 10 + 20 + 25 + 30 + 50 = 135

Number of values: 5

Mean: 135/5 = 27

The median is the middle of the values when they're sorted from smallest to largest.

10, 20, 25, 30, 50

The middle is 25 = median
