Question

Each of the 6 cats in a pet store was weighed. Here are their weights

10, 15, 8, 11, 9, 12
Find the mean and median weights of these cats.
If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Mean= 10.83

Median= 9.5

Explanation:

Given number,

10, 15, 8, 11, 9, 12

N= 6

As we know,

Mean= Ex/N

=10+15+8+11+9+12/6

=65/6

=10.83

Therefore, Mean= 10.83

Now,

Median(MD)= (N+1/2)th item

= 6+1/2

=7/2

=3.5th item

So, Median(MD)= 3th+4th/2 item

= 8+11/2

= 19/2

= 9.5

Therefore, Median= 9.5
