Question

Find the median and mean of the data set below: 29 , 8 , 11 , 29 , 29 , 6 , 49

Answer 1

Hi there!

Your answers are:

Median: 29

Mean: 23

Explanation:

The median is calculated by putting them in order of least to greatest:

6, 8, 11 , 29, 29, 29, 49

/. /

/. /. /. /

/. /. /. /. /. /

29

Mean is calculated by finding the average:

29+ 8+11+29+29+6+49 = 161

Then, divide 161 by 7

161/7 = 23

I hope this makes sense!

Answer 2

mean: 23 median: 29

Explanation:

To find the mean (average) you have to add all numbers up and divide that number by how many numbers there are in the set. To find median, put all numbers in order from least to greatest, then cancel out one from each side until you get the number in the middle.
