Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$2,4,12,34$

Step2: Calculate the median

Since there are 4 data - points (an even number), the median is the average of the two middle numbers. $\frac{4 + 12}{2}=\frac{16}{2}=8$

Step3: Calculate the mean

The mean $\bar{x}=\frac{2 + 4+12 + 34}{4}=\frac{52}{4}=13$

Answer:

Median = 8
Mean = 13
