STEP 1
What is this asking? We need to find the middle value (median) and the average value (mean) of a set of numbers. Watch out! Don't forget to order the numbers before finding the median!
STEP 2
1. Sort the Data
2. Calculate the Median
3. Calculate the Mean
STEP 3
Alright, let's **wrangle these numbers**!
We've got .
See how we put them in order from smallest to largest?
That's *super* important for finding the median!
STEP 4
Since we have an **even** number of values ( values), the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
In our sorted list, the two middle numbers are and .
STEP 5
Let's **add them together**: .
STEP 6
Now, **divide by 2** to find the median: .
So, our **median is 37.5**!
STEP 7
To find the mean, we **add up all the numbers** and then **divide by how many numbers** there are.
STEP 8
**Add 'em up**: .
STEP 9
We have numbers, so we **divide the sum by 6**: .
Our **mean is 32**!
STEP 10
Median = Mean =
