First, figure out the median and the mean for that set of numbers.

First find the median and the mean of the original set without the addition of 50....

$\Huge{8, 10, 12, 18,22}$ 

What would be the median?

Remember: Median is the middle of the set.

Thank you ^^

Yes it is 12 now we would find the mean of the set in which we add all the numbers and then divide by how many numbers there are....

$\Huge{\frac{8+10+12+18+22}{5}}$

What is the mean?
