Question

The weight, in pounds, of dogs at the Humane Society are listed:[15, 45, 50,62,66,68,70,74,81] Determine what the shape of the data would be, and identify the median.

Answer 1

To find the median, add all the numbers and divide the result by the number of numbers.

$\begin{gathered} 15+45+50+62+66+68+70+74+81 \\ =531 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \frac{531}{9} \\ =59 \end{gathered}$

so, the median is 59
