question
find the median and mean of the data set below:
11, 48, 6, 25, 31
answer: attempt 1 out of 2
median =
mean =

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$6, 11, 25, 31, 48$

Step2: Find the median (middle value)

For 5 data points, the 3rd value is the median: $25$

Step3: Calculate sum of data set

$6 + 11 + 25 + 31 + 48 = 121$

Step4: Compute the mean

$\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of data}}{\text{Number of data points}} = \frac{121}{5} = 24.2$

Answer:

Median = 25
Mean = 24.2
