You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the mean is all numbers added together and divided by the amount of numbers you added.
adding all numbers together is 30
now divide that by 6
and the answer is 5
so the mean is 5
now the median is the middle number
in this case the middle numbers are 3 and 9
add both together and divide by two
3+9=12
12/2=6
so the median is 6
