Question

1. find the median and mean of the data set below 49, 10, 5, 3, 6

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$3,5,6,10,49$

Step2: Find the median

Since there are 5 (odd - numbered) data points, the median is the middle - value. So the median is 6.

Step3: Calculate the mean

The mean $\bar{x}=\frac{3 + 5+6+10+49}{5}=\frac{73}{5}=14.6$

Answer:

Median: 6, Mean: 14.6
