Question

find the median and mean of the data set below: 48,42,30,10,5 answer attempt 1 out of 2 median = mean =

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$5, 10, 30, 42, 48$

Step2: Find the median

For a set with 5 (odd) numbers, the median is the middle - number. So, the median is 30.

Step3: Calculate the sum for the mean

$5 + 10+30 + 42+48=135$

Step4: Calculate the mean

The mean $\bar{x}=\frac{\text{Sum of data}}{\text{Number of data}}=\frac{135}{5}=27$

Answer:

Median = 30
Mean = 27
