Question

Find the mean and the median of this data set: 9, 6, 5, 3, 24, 7, 4, 2

Answer 1

Answer: Median is 5

Mean is 7.5

Step-by-step explanation: Median: arrange from smallest to largest and chose the middle number

Mean is the average. Add all the numbers and divide by 8

Answer 2

To find mean add all values 9+6+5+3+24+7+4+2 which equals 60

Then take 60 divided by how many numbers that were given which is 8 —> 60/8 = 7.5 is your mean

To find medium put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 2,3,4,5,6,9,24 and cross out one from each side to get a medium of 5
