Find the median of the following set of numbers: 3, 5, 18, 6, 3.
Find the median of the following set of numbers: 3, 5, 18, 6, 3.
Tap to reveal answer
The median of a set of numbers is the number that falls in the middle when the numbers are arranged from smallest to largest: 3, 3, 5, 6, 18. The number that falls exactly in the middle of this set is 5, which is the median.

Find the median.
Tap to reveal answer
The median is the middle number of an ordered number set. By ordered number set, I mean that the numbers are arranged from lowest to largest. In this problem, we can arrange the number set from lowest to largest so that it is rewritten as
5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 14, 15, 15, 16, 18, 19
It looks like the middle-most number is 9. Therefore, 9 is the median.

Find the mean of the following numbers:
150, 88, 141, 110, 79
Tap to reveal answer
The mean is the average. The mean can be found by taking the sum of all the numbers (150 + 88 + 141 + 110 + 79 = 568) and then dividing the sum by how many numbers there are (5).
Our answer is 113 3/5, which can be written as a decimal.
Therefore 113 3/5 is equivalent to 113.6, which is our answer.

To find the fifth score, we need to set the average of all of the scores equal to 90.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
Subtract 352 from both sides of equation.
