To find the median, we first need to put the numbers in order from least to greatest:

7, 17, 27, 36, 44

The median is the middle number, which in this case is 27. Therefore, the median of the data set is 27.

To find the mean, we add up all the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers:

(27 + 36 + 44 + 7 + 17) รท 5 = 26.2

Therefore, the mean of the data set is 26.2.
