Question

find the median and mean of the data set below: 12, 38, 13, 44, 18 answer attempt 1 out of 2 median = mean =

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$12,13,18,38,44$

Step2: Find the median

Since there are 5 (odd - numbered) data points, the median is the middle - numbered value. So the median is $18$.

Step3: Calculate the mean

The mean $\bar{x}=\frac{12 + 38+13+44+18}{5}=\frac{125}{5}=25$

Answer:

Median = $18$
Mean = $25$
