Answer 1

14.5kg

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the median put the numbers in order.

8,8,14,15,17,19

Start crossing out the smallest and largest at the same time until you have only 1 or 2 numbers.

8,14,15,17

14,15

Since there is 2 numbers we take the average of them

14+15=29

29/2 = 14.5. The answer is 14.5 kg

Answer 2

The median weight is 14 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median weight is the middle value when the weights are arranged in ascending order. First, we need to arrange the weights in ascending order: 8 kg, 8 kg, 14 kg, 15 kg, 17 kg, 19 kg. Since there are six weights, the middle value is the third weight. Therefore, the median weight is 14 kg.
