Question

find the median and mean of the data set below: 31, 28, 24, 5, 29 answer attempt 1 out of 2 median = mean =

Explanation:

Step1: Arrange data in ascending order

$5, 24, 28, 29, 31$

Step2: Find the median

Since there are 5 (an odd - number) data points, the median is the middle value. So the median is 28.

Step3: Calculate the mean

The mean $\bar{x}=\frac{5 + 24+28+29+31}{5}=\frac{117}{5}=23.4$

Answer:

Median = 28
Mean = 23.4
