70, 80, 90, 100, 110

Mean = 90 ft (Add the numbers together, then divide by how many numbers there are)

Median = 90 ft (the middle number)

80, 90, 100, 110

Mean = 95 ft

Median = 95 ft (if there are 2 middle numbers, add them together, then divide by 2)

The mean will increase. The median will also increase.
