The mean temperature during the week was (45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50) / 7 = 50.7 degrees.
To find the median temperature, we need to arrange the temperatures in numerical order: 44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62.
Since there are 7 temperatures, the median will be the fourth temperature in the sequence, which is 50 degrees.
Therefore, the median temperature during the week was 50 degrees.
