Answer:

The median is the average of all the numbers so you would first add all the numbers together which is 16+12+13+14+19+13+17+13=117

then you divide 117/8=14.6

Then your median is the middle number of all your numbers in numerical order

12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19

which is 13 and 14, and between those two numbers is 13.5

Answer:

Mean: 14.6

Median: 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of terms:

$\frac{16+12+13+14+19+13+17+13}{8}=\frac{117}{8} =14.625$

To find the median, order the numbers from least to greatest and take the center term:

12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19

If there is an even number of terms, average the middle two:

$\frac{13+14}{2}=13.5$
