Use the table to answer the question. Day of the Week Temperature Sunday 45 degrees Monday 52 degrees Tuesday 44 degrees Wednesday 62 degrees Thursday 55 degrees Friday 49 degrees Saturday 50 degrees Find the mean and median of the past week’s temperatures. (1 point) During the week, the mean temperature was degrees. During the week, the median temperature was degrees. Skip to navigation
To find the mean temperature, add up all the temperatures and divide by the total number of days:
Mean temperature = (45 + 52 + 44 + 62 + 55 + 49 + 50) / 7
Mean temperature = 357 / 7
Mean temperature = 51 degrees
To find the median temperature, arrange the temperatures in numerical order and find the middle value:
44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55, 62
Since there are 7 temperatures, the median would be the 4th temperature in the ordered list, which is 50 degrees.
Therefore, the mean temperature for the week was 51 degrees and the median temperature was 50 degrees.
