Answer 1

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

Mean = (45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50) / 7
Mean = 357 / 7
Mean = 51 degrees

To find the median, first arrange the temperatures in ascending order: 44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62. Since there is an odd number of temperatures, the median is the middle value, which in this case is 50 degrees.

Therefore, during the week, the mean temperature was 51 degrees and the median temperature was 50 degrees.
