Question

Below is a table with the dog breed and the average weight using the data and table find the mean median mode and which of the three measure of central tendency best describes the data

Answer 1

Dog Breed | Average Weight (lbs)
-----------------------------------------
Beagle | 20
Bulldog | 50
Chihuahua| 6
Dalmatian| 55
Golden Retriever | 75
Labrador Retriever | 70
Poodle | 50
Siberian Husky | 60

To find the mean:
(20+50+6+55+75+70+50+60) / 8 = 386 / 8 = 48.25 lbs

To find the median:
The data ordered from least to greatest is: 6, 20, 50, 50, 55, 60, 70, 75.
The median is the middle value, which in this case is 55 lbs.

To find the mode:
The mode is the value that appears most frequently. In this case, the mode is 50 lbs as it appears twice.

Based on these calculations, the mean weight of the dog breeds is 48.25 lbs, the median weight is 55 lbs, and the mode weight is 50 lbs. In this dataset, the median weight best describes the central tendency as it is not influenced by extreme values like the mean and is a more reliable measure of central tendency.
