Mean: To find the mean temperature, we add up all the temperatures and divide by the total number of days.
Mean: (45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50) / 7 = 357 / 7 = 51 degrees
Median: To find the median temperature, we arrange the temperatures in numerical order and find the middle value.
Temperatures in order: 44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62
Since there is an odd number of temperatures, the median is the middle value.
Median: 50 degrees
Therefore, the mean temperature for the past week was 51 degrees and the median temperature was 50 degrees.
