Question

Each of the 8 cats in a pet store was weighed. Here are their weights (in pounds): 6,6, 10, 6, 8, 7, 14, 12 Find the median and mean weights of these cats. If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth. Median: pounds Х X ? Mean: pounds ​

Answer 1

Median: 7.5

Mean: 8.6

Explanation:

Median = the average of the 2 middle numbers of the set in ascending order, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14

(7+8)/2 = 2

Mean = the sum of the numbers divided by the number of values

6 + 6+ 6+ 7 +8 +10 +12 +14/8

69/8

8.625
