Question

Find the median and mean of the data set below: 35,47,15,11,31,14,1

Answer 1

Answer:

The median for the data would be 15 and the mean of the data would be 22.

Explanation:

To find the median, you would get the average of the two middle values for this scenario because the set is even. If your data set is odd, the middle number would be your median

First, you would put the numbers in order from least to greatest.

1,11,14,15,31,35,47

Secondly, you would take the middle number (which is 15) to be your median. your median will be the halfway point of your data set.

To find the mean you would have to find the total of all the data points and divide by the amount of numbers you have.

First, add all the data points in the set

$1++11+14+15+31+35+47=154$

Next divide by the amount of numbers (which is 7).

$154/7= 22$
