To find the mean temperature, add up all the temperatures and divide by the number of days:
(45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50) / 7 = 357 / 7 = 51 degrees
So, the mean temperature for the past week was 51 degrees.
To find the median temperature, first arrange the temperatures in numerical order:
44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62
Since there are 7 temperatures, the median will be the 4th temperature in the ordered list:
Median = 50 degrees
Therefore, the median temperature for the past week was 50 degrees.
