To find the mean, add up all the temperatures and divide by the total number of days:
(45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50) / 7 = 357 / 7 = 51 degrees
Therefore, the mean temperature for the past week was 51 degrees.
To find the median, first order the temperatures from lowest to highest:
44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62
Since there are 7 temperatures, the median will be the 4th temperature which is 50 degrees.
Therefore, the median temperature for the past week was 50 degrees.
