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: Arrange data in ascending order

$5, 10, 30, 42, 48$

Step2: Find the median

Since there are 5 (odd - numbered) data points, the median is the middle - value. So the median is 30.

Step3: Calculate the mean

The mean $\bar{x}=\frac{5 + 10+30+42+48}{5}=\frac{135}{5}=27$

Answer:

Median = 30
Mean = 27
