Question

find the median and mean of the data set below: 31, 38, 35, 36, 3 answer attempt 1 out of 2 median = mean =

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$3, 31, 35, 36, 38$

Step2: Find the median

Since there are 5 (odd - numbered) data points, the median is the middle - value. So the median is $35$.

Step3: Calculate the mean

The mean $\bar{x}=\frac{3 + 31+35 + 36+38}{5}=\frac{143}{5}=28.6$

Answer:

Median = $35$
Mean = $28.6$
