Find the median and mean of the data set below:

Question

18, 21, 23, 34, 37, 48, 50

Answer 1

To find the median, we need to find the middle number in the set. To do this, we can list the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

18, 21, 23, 34, 37, 48, 50

The middle number is 34, so the median is 34.

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

(18 + 21 + 23 + 34 + 37 + 48 + 50) / 7 = 31.86

So the mean is 31.86.
