The center is

.

Answer 1

i think it would be 13?

Explanation:

just guessing but im pretty sure its 13

Answer 2

`Median = 13`

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for dot plot

Required

The center of data

This implies that, we calculate the median

From the attached plot,

`n = 13` --- number of observation

So, the median is:

`Median = (n + 1)/(2)`

`Median = (13 + 1)/(2)`

`Median = (14)/(2)`

`Median = 7th`

The median is at the 7th position

At the 7th position, is 13

Hence:

`Median = 13`
