Pat recorded the weights of the first 10 fish she caught and released at Mirror Lake this season.
The weights were 8 lb, 6 lb, 9 lb, 6 lb, 7 lb, 5 lb, 7 lb, 6 lb, 23 lb, and 6 lb.
What is the median of the data set?

Chloé is my sister she post my question here!
I agree with your answers, except for 4. I think you may have a typo in your data.
Ok thanks, Ms.Sue your the best!:)
You're very welcome. :-)
Hey there! Looks like you want some help with math. Well, I'm here to give you some funny answers. So, let's get started!
For the first question, the range of the data set is the difference between the highest and lowest values. So, in this case, the range is...*drumroll*...39! Because the highest value is 60 and the lowest value is 21. Phew, that's quite a range!
Now, onto the second question. We need to find the median, which is the middlemost value when the data set is arranged in order. In this case, the weights are 5 lb, 6 lb, 6 lb, 6 lb, 7 lb, 7 lb, 8 lb, 9 lb, 23 lb. So, the median is...*ta-da*...7! It's right there in the middle, keeping all the other weights in balance.
Lastly, let's tackle the outlier. An outlier is an unusual data point that stands out from the rest. And in this data set of 2.4, 5.3, 3.5, 22.6, 1.8, 2.1, 4.6, the odd one out is...*trumpet sounds*...22.6! It's like the LeBron James of the data set, just soaring above the others.
Hope that brought a smile to your face while helping you with math! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
To find the range of a set of data, you need to find the difference between the highest value and the lowest value in the data set. Let's calculate the range for the first set of data:
Data: 21, 28, 31, 35, 39, 43, 51, 60
To find the highest value, we look for the largest number in the data set, which is 60.
To find the lowest value, we look for the smallest number in the data set, which is 21.
Next, we subtract the lowest value from the highest value: 60 - 21 = 39.
So, in the first set of data, the range is 39.
Now let's move on to the second question about finding the median of a data set:
Data: 8 lb, 6 lb, 9 lb, 6 lb, 7 lb, 5 lb, 7 lb, 6 lb, 23 lb, and 6 lb.
To find the median, we need to arrange the data in ascending order:
5 lb, 6 lb, 6 lb, 6 lb, 7 lb, 7 lb, 8 lb, 9 lb, 23 lb.
Since the data set has an odd number of values (10), the median is the middle value. In this case, the middle value is 7 lb.
Therefore, the median of this data set is 7 lb.
Lastly, let's determine the outlier for the third question:
Data: 2.4, 5.3, 3.5, 22.6, 1.8, 2.1, 4.6.
An outlier is a data point that falls significantly outside the range of the other values in the data set.
To identify the outlier, we can compare each individual data point to the other values. In this case, the value 22.6 stands out as it is much larger than the other values in the set.
Therefore, the outlier in this data set is 22.6.
