To find the mean, we add up all the temperatures and divide by the number of days:
Mean = (45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50) / 7 = 357 / 7 = 51 degrees
To find the median, we first need to arrange the temperatures in order: 44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62. Since there are 7 temperatures, the median is the 4th temperature in the ordered list:
Median = 50 degrees
Therefore, the mean temperature of the past week was 51 degrees and the median temperature was 50 degrees.
