8 and 4
The mean is the same thing as average. To get the mean you add together all of the numbers in the set. Then, you divide by the total amount of numbers that were added to get the mean/average. Example: Find the mean of 5, 4, 6, 3, and 2. 5+4=9+6=15+3=18+2=20 1 2 3 4 5 (There are a total of five numbers in the set.) 5 4 6 3 2 - Numbers of the set. 20 (Sum of all numbers in the set) Divided by: 5 (Amount of numbers in the set) equals: 4 The mean (or average) of 5, 4, 6, 3, and 2 is 4.
To find the four numbers that have a mean of 6, we need to consider that the mean is the average of all the numbers. Therefore, the sum of the four numbers should be 4 times the mean, which is 24. To have a mean of 6, the four numbers could be 5, 6, 7, and 6, as (5 + 6 + 7 + 6) / 4 = 24 / 4 = 6.
The mean (average) of 2 4 6 and 8 is 5. The way you solve it is by adding all the numbers up and dividing by the total amount of numbers which in this case is 4. 20 divided by 4 is 5
You find the median like normal: 1) list ALL the numbers in order from least to greatest putting any repeated numbers next to each other; 2) if there is an odd number of numbers the median is the middle one - to find which one it is add one to the number of numbers and divide by 2, eg if there are 11 numbers: (11+1)/2 = 6, so it is the 6th number; 3) otherwise there is an even number of numbers and the median is the mean average of the middle two - to find which ones divide the number of numbers by 2 and then find the mean average of that one and the next one, eg if there are 12 numbers 12/2 = 6, so find the mean average of the 6th and 7th numbers. examples: find the median of {1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 2} {1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 2} → {1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6} → 6 numbers, therefore mean of middle two (6/3 = 3 → 3rd and 4th) = (2 + 4)/2 = 3 find the median of {1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 4} {1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 4} → {1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6} → 6 numbers, therefore mean of middle two (6/3 = 3 → 3rd and 4th) = (4 + 4)/2 = 4 find the median of {1, 5, 2, 3, 6, 2} {1, 5, 2, 3, 6, 2} → {1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 6} → 6 numbers, therefore mean of middle two (6/3 = 3 → 3rd and 4th) = (2 + 3)/2 = 2.5 If there is an even number of numbers in the set, the median does not have to be (and usually isn't) one of the numbers in the set.
