Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the mean, add all the amounts and divide by the number of months: $(2426 + 2463 + 1451 + 2154 + 1119) / 5 = 9613 / 5 = \$1922.6$, which rounds to \$1923. For the median, order the amounts from least to greatest (\$1119, \$1451, \$2154, \$2426, \$2463) and find the middle value, which is \$2154. The range is the difference between the highest and lowest amounts: \$2463 - \$1119 = \$1344.
