how do you find the mean? And to do that you add up all of the numbers and divide that answer by how many numbers there are. And once you find the mean you can find the answer.

mean = sum of all values / number of values
median = the middle value  or  the two middle values/2

Right now we have an Odd number of numbers in that set. So we find the middle one. What is the middle one, @KJSaif?

anonymous · Answer

Well we know that mean is when you add all the numbers in the set then divide by the amount of numbers in the set. and median is the number in the middle.
