To find the median, we must first order the data set from smallest to largest:
12,21,27,38,43,45
The median is the middle number. In this case, the middle numbers are 27 and 38. To find the median, we take the average of these two numbers:
median = (27+38)/2 = 32.5
To find the mean, we add up all the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers:
mean = (38+45+12+27+21+43)/6 = 31.5
Therefore, the median is 32.5 and the mean is 31.5.
Find the median and mean of the data set below:
38,45,12,27,21,43
