Respuesta :

Answer:

The mean is 9.5 and the median is 6.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean:

Add all numbers given.

9+8+5+3+37+8+4+2= 76

Then divide by the amount of numbers (8).

76/8= 9.5

To find the median:

Re-arrange the order of the numbers from least to greatest.

2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 8, 9, 37

Count towards the middle. If there is no exact middle (like this equation), then take the two middle numbers and add them.

5+8= 13

After, divide by two since there are two numbers being added.

13/2= 6.5
