Mean = (70 + 76 + 52 + 63 + 13 + 41 + 22) / 7 = 47.71 lbs
Median = the middle value = 52 lbs
Mode = the value that appears most frequently = there is no mode in this data set
In this case, the median best describes the data since it is not affected by extreme values like the mean and is more accurate in this dataset with varying weights.
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 tree measures i of central tendency best describes the data. Labrador Retriever 70 lbs, German Shepard 76 lbs, Bulldog 52 lbs, Golden Retriever 63, Yorkshire Terrier 13 lbs, Siberian Husky 41 lbs, Beagle 22 lbs
