total number of household=210
no pet household = 1/3*210 = 70
1 pet household = 1/3*210 = 70
2 pet household = 210-(70+70) = 70
avg = total pets/number of household
70*1 + 70*2 + 70*0)/210 = 1
median = 211/2 = 105.5th term
data in ascending order is in the form
0,0,0,0,0,.....0(70st term)
1(71st term),1,1,1,1,.....1(140th term)
as such 105.5th term= (1+1)/2 = 1
Highest number of pet per household - lowest number of pet per household= 2-0 =2

Hi,
Please explain the median part of the calculation. I didn't understand the 211/2 = 105.5. How did we get 211? I didn't get the entire logic behind it.
Thanks in advance.
