The sum is 30 and there are 5 observations. Divide 30 by 5. The repeated 5 counts twice.
Common mistakes
What to check
- finding the median before sorting
- dividing by the wrong count for the mean
Ways to review the work
- 1
Have learners annotate the ordered list and circle the middle value or pair.
