Janette is growing tomato seedlings. She just took measurements of her seedlings, and here are her data, in centimeters. 4, 3.5, 6, 7.2, 5, 6.1, 3.6, 7.1, 3, 3.2 What are the mean and median seedling heights?

Mean = (4 + 3.5 + 6 + 7.2 + 5 + 6.1 + 3.6 + 7.1 + 3 + 3.2) / 10 = 4.96 cm

To find the median:
1. Arrange the data in ascending order: 3, 3.2, 3.5, 3.6, 4, 5, 6, 6.1, 7.1, 7.2
2. Since there are 10 data points, the median is the average of the middle two values.
Median = (4 + 5) / 2 = 4.5 cm

Therefore, the mean seedling height is 4.96 cm and the median seedling height is 4.5 cm.
