Answer 1

Answer:

Mean: 13.44

Median: 4.44

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean you would need to add all the values in the second column together.

After you add them, you have to divide the sum by the number of values there are. In this question, there are 9 values so you would divide the sum of all these numbers by 9. The answer you get it 13.44.

To find the median, you would need to order all the numbers in the second column from least to greatest. After ordering them, you would find the number that is in the middle of the data set.
