Answer: mean=87, median=87.5 and range=18
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean:
First add all the numbers
78+95+77+92+87+79+94+86+88+94 = 870
Then you divide the answer by counting the numbers
870÷10
=87
Median:
First arrange the numbers in ascending order (from smallest to largest)
77, 78, 79, 86, 87, 88, 92, 94, 94, 95
pick the two middle numbers which is 87 and 88
then you do
= 175÷2
= 87.5
range = Largest number - smallest number
= 95-77
= 18
