Question

find the median and mean of the data set below:
7, 47, 43, 47, 25, 16, 18
answer attempt 1 out of 2
median =
mean =

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$7, 16, 18, 25, 43, 47, 47$

Step2: Find the median (middle value)

Since there are 7 (odd) values, the 4th value is the median: $25$

Step3: Calculate sum of data set

$7 + 16 + 18 + 25 + 43 + 47 + 47 = 203$

Step4: Compute the mean (sum/number of values)

$\text{Mean} = \frac{203}{7} = 29$

Answer:

Median = $25$
Mean = $29$
