First you need to add the ages of the 12 patients seen by each doctor and divide by 12 to find the value of the mean patients' age for each doctor. Can you do that?

kropot72 · Answer

The ages of the patients seen by the first doctor are found by reading the stem and leaf plot and are as follows:
29, 22, 20, 18, 17, 15, 9, 7, 3, 2, 1, 1

What you do is add all of the numbers together and see what you get then divide the number you got by the number of numbers after you are done that is the mean. For the median you put all the numbers from least to greatest. You should be able to figure out the rest.

@animefreakdesu Can you add the 12 ages in my post and then divide the total by 12?
