Question

find the median and mean of the data set below: 5, 23, 11, 25 answer attempt 1 out of 2 median = mean =

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$5, 11, 23, 25$

Step2: Calculate the median

Since there are 4 data - points (an even number of data - points), the median is the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers are 11 and 23. Median=$\frac{11 + 23}{2}=\frac{34}{2}=17$.

Step3: Calculate the mean

The mean $\bar{x}=\frac{5 + 23+11 + 25}{4}=\frac{64}{4}=16$.

Answer:

Median = 17
Mean = 16
