The mean you have to add up your numbers first then divide them by the amount of numbers you have .ex. 1+2+3 is 6 then divide so 6÷3 =3 Median is the middle number in list. So put them in order then muddle number is your median. If you have two numbers left add them and divide by 2. That will be your median.

Mean: The "average" number; found by adding all data points and dividing by the number of data points.
Example: The mean of 4, 1, & 7 is (4+1+7)/3 = 12/3= 4
Median: The middle number; found by ordering all data points and picking out the one in the middle (or if there are two middle numbers, taking the mean of those two numbers).
Example: The median of 4, 1, & 7 is 4 bc when the numbers are put in order (1, 4, 7), the number 4 is in the middle.

The population of turtles is doubling every 3 months. If there are 400 turtles now, how many will there

QveST [7]

First we need to know how many months is 2 years. To answer that we multiply the number of months in a year by 2 and get 48 months.

Every 3 months the population of turtles doubles, but to get how many times the population doubles, you need to divide 48 months by 3 to get 16.

So population of 400 will get <u>doubled</u> 16 times in the following <u>two</u> years.

We construct the following equation where $p$ is the final population,
