Question

Each of the 8

cats in a pet store was weighed. Here are their weights (in pounds):7, 15, 8, 15, 12, 13, 11, 6

If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

median = average of the middle two numbers when put in order from least to largest = (11+12)/2 = 11.5

mean =sum of all the numbers divided by the number of numbers = 87/8 = 10.875 = about 10.9
