To find the mean, add up all the temperature values and divide by the total number of values.
Mean = (45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50) / 7
Mean = 357 / 7
Mean = 51 degrees
To find the median, first arrange the temperature values in order:
44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62
Since there are 7 values, the median will be the 4th value in the ordered list, which is 50 degrees.
Therefore, the mean temperature is 51 degrees and the median temperature is 50 degrees.
