Question

Mean of 6, 4, 3, 5, 4, 2 is m and median of 0, 3, 2, m, 5 is n. Find m and n.

Answer 1

Sum of numbers = 6 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 24

Total numbers = 6

Mean (m)  =`24/6`

m = 4

The median (n) is the middle value of an ordered list of numbers.

0, 3, 2, m, 5

Substitute the value of m into the list of numbers: 0, 3, 2, 4, 5

Arrange the numbers in ascending order: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5

Since there are 5 numbers (an odd number), the median is the third number in the ordered list.

n = 3

∴ The value of m is 4 and the value of n is 3.
