Use the table to answer the question.
Day of the Week Temperature
Sunday 45 degrees
Monday 52 degrees
Tuesday 44 degrees
Wednesday 62 degrees
Thursday 55 degrees
Friday 49 degrees
Saturday 50 degrees
Find the mean and median of the past week’s temperatures.
(1 point)
During the week, the mean temperature was
degrees.
During the week, the median temperature was
degrees.
To find the mean of the temperatures, add all the temperatures together and divide by 7 (the number of days).
45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50 = 357
357 / 7 = 51 degrees
Therefore, the mean temperature for the week was 51 degrees.
To find the median temperature, arrange the temperatures in order from lowest to highest.
44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62
Since there are 7 temperatures, the median will be the temperature in the middle, which is the 4th temperature (50).
Therefore, the median temperature for the week was 50 degrees.
