To find the fifth score, we need to set the average of all of the scores equal to 90.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
Subtract 352 from both sides of equation.

Find the mean of the following numbers:
150, 88, 141, 110, 79

The mean is the average. The mean can be found by taking the sum of all the numbers (150 + 88 + 141 + 110 + 79 = 568) and then dividing the sum by how many numbers there are (5).
Our answer is 113 3/5, which can be written as a decimal.
Therefore 113 3/5 is equivalent to 113.6, which is our answer.

First, calculate the mean. Sum the values and divide by the total number of values:
Next, determine the median. Reorder the values in ascending order:
38, 42, 44, 47, 50, 51, 54, 62
The median is the middle number. In this case, there is no "middle" number because we have an even number of values. Therefore, both 47 and 50 are the "middle". Average these numbers:
Therefore, 48.5 represents both the mean and median.
