During the week, the mean temperature was degrees.
During the week, the median temperature was degrees.
During the week, the mean temperature was 50 degrees.
During the week, the median temperature was 50 degrees.
To find the mean temperature, add up all the temperatures and divide by the total number of days:
45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50 = 357 degrees
The total number of days is 7. Dividing the sum by 7:
357 / 7 = 51 degrees
Therefore, the mean temperature during the week was 51 degrees.
To find the median temperature, arrange the temperatures in ascending order:
44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62
As there are 7 temperatures, the median will be the (7 + 1) / 2 = 4th temperature.
Therefore, the median temperature during the week was 50 degrees.
