find the median and mean of the data set below:\n44, 8, 30, 40, 36\nanswer attempt 1 out of 2\nmedian =…

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

Sort (44,8,30,40,36) in ascending order: (8,30,36,40,44)

Step2: Find the median

Since there are (n = 5) (odd number) data points, the median is the (\left(\frac{n + 1}{2}\right))th value. (\frac{5+1}{2}=3)rd value. So the median is (36)

Step3: Calculate the mean

The formula for the mean (\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}x_{i}}{n}). Here, (\sum_{i=1}^{5}x_{i}=8 + 30+36+40+44=158), (n = 5). So (\bar{x}=\frac{158}{5}=31.6)

Answer:

Median (=36), Mean (=31.6)
