Question

Each of the 6 cats in a pet store was weighed. Here are their weights (in pounds): 15,8,14,16,14,9. Find the mean and median weights of these cats. If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

for mean w. you have to add up all the values (cat weights) and divide them by the number of cats

and for median w. you need to compare the values from the smallest to the largest and cross out the numbers from the ends. Since there are 6 cats here (odd number) you will have 2 values left. Add them up and divide them by 2 (since there are 2)
