To get the mean of a set of data, the steps are to add all the data and divide by the total number of data.
[tex]\bar{x}=\frac{95.1+97.0+96.2+96.5+96.7}{5}[/tex]Then, solve.
[tex]\bar{x}=\frac{481.5}{5}=96.3[/tex]The mean is 96.3 grams.
On the other hand, the median of a set of data is the middlemost data once the data has been arranged from lowest to highest or vice versa.
Let's arrange the data first.
[tex]95.1,96.2,96.5,96.7,97.0[/tex]Out of the 5 data, the middlemost data would be the third one. Hence, the median is 96.5 grams.
