1 answer

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

Median temperature:
Arranging the temperatures in ascending order: 44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62
The middle value is the 4th value, which is 50 degrees.

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