Correct me if Im wrong.
So I got the correct answer using this approach.
I rearranged the set given as follows { 5 5 5 10 10 10 10 20 25 }
The median is the 5th term since they are 9 in total and by definition its the middle one of the set. So we get 10.
Mean= (5 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 20 + 25)/9= 11.11
This approach is incorrect. The question asks for median weight, there the set in question are the weights of the dogs and not the percentages assigned to them.
Hence, as we see, the weights are already arranged in ascending order. Therefore, all you have to do is find the median.
It was fortuitous that you got the right answer this time. But no worries, i made this mistake in the early stages of my prep too
