What are the mean and median of the following dataset?
5, 7, 11, 11, 6
Mean of the dataset = _
Median of the dataset = _
Mean of the dataset = (5 + 7 + 11 + 11 + 6) / 5 = 40 / 5 = 8
To find the median, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order: 5, 6, 7, 11, 11
Since there are an odd number of values in the dataset, the median is the middle value: 7
Therefore, the median of the dataset is 7.
