What is the mean and median of 25 30 27 26 32 32 24?

Answer 1

Mean is the average where the sum of all values is divided by the number of values.

The sum of all values is:

25+30+27+26+32+32+24=196

Now we need to divide by the number of values. There are 7 values so we divide by 7:

196/7=28

The mean average is 28.

Median is the average where the values are arranged in order (usually ascending) and the middle number is the median (if there are an odd number of values) or the number exactly halfway between the middle two numbers is the median (if there are an even number of values).

First we need to arrange the values in ascending order:

24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 32, 32.

Since, the number of values (7) is odd, we pick the middle number:

24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 32, 32.

The median average is 27.
