Answer:

15.5 is the median.

The mean of the data is 22

Explanation:

First, the median of a data set is found by sorting the numbers in order, from least to greatest. Then you count inwards one at a time on both sides until you reach a center number.

4 , 12, 15, 16, 40, 45

12, 15, 16, 40

15, 16

15.5

This means, 15.5 is the median

Next, to find the mean, you add up all the numbers and divide it by however many numbers there are. In this case there are 6 numbers, so we divide the total by 6.

40 + 4 + 12 + 15 + 45 + 16 = 132

132 / 6 = 22

The mean of the data is 22
