For the data \(8,11,12,14,15\), calculate the mean and median.
Hints
- Find the balance-point summary and the middle-position summary separately.
- For the mean, divide the sum by the number of observations; for the median, use the ordered middle position.
Solution
1. The sum is \(60\), so the mean is \(\frac{60}{5}=12\).
2. The ordered middle value is \(12\).
Answer
Mean: \(12\).
Median: \(12\).
