Question

I need to find the median and mean of a set of 8 numbers

8,8,10,10,10,12,13,16

Answer 1

median = 10

mean = 10.9

Explanation:

These are the answers because:

1) Whenever, there is an even set of numbers for the median, you have to take the two middle numbers in the number set given and then add them. After you add them, you have to divide them by 2.

In this case, it would be:

10 + 10 = 20

20/2 = 10

2) 10.9 is the answer for mean because first, you need to add all the numbers in the set. If you add

8 + 8 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 16 you would get 87. Then, you have to divide by how many numbers there are in the number set. In this case it would be 87/8 which is 10.875

Once you round it, you will get 10.9

Hope this helps!
