Question

A student downloaded a new game on her phone that was recommended by her friend. She wanted to show her friend how good

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 587

b. 543

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Mean = sum / number of numbers

To find the sum, we can add the numbers up.

432 + 543 + 348 + 788 + 823 = 2934

There are 5 numbers. Our mean is thus

2934/5 = 586.8, or 587 when rounding up. We round up because we have a .8 at the end, and 8 ≥ 5

b. To find the median, we first must order the numbers. The numbers ordered are this:

348 ,  432 , 543 , 788 , 823

To find the median, we can cross off one number on each side until we are left with one or two numbers.

348 ,  432 , 543 , 788 , 823

cross out one number from each endpoint

432 , 543 , 788

cross out one number from each endpoint

543
