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 $6, 15, 30, 45, 47, 49$.
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 ($6$ values), the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
In our sorted list, the two middle numbers are $30$ and $45$.

STEP 5

Let's add them together: $30 + 45 = 75$.

STEP 6

Now, divide by 2 to find the median: $75 \div 2 = 37.5$.
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: $6 + 15 + 30 + 45 + 47 + 49 = 192$.

STEP 9

We have $6$ numbers, so we divide the sum by 6: $192 \div 6 = 32$.
Our mean is 32!

Median = $37.5$
Mean = $32$
