Answer 1

The median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of the data set if the number of terms are odd then the median the middle of the sorted set if the number of terms is even then the median is the arithmetic mean of the two middle elements of the sorted set

Answer: 6kg

Answer 2

Fist you would put them in order and then cross one off from each side so like 4kg and 13kg and the last two that you have you would add the 4kg and the 6kg and divide by 2 to get the aswer of 5kg.

4kg+6kg=10kg

10kg/2kg=5kg
