Izabelle Evans · Answer 1

Mean is 9.875

You can get this by adding all of the weights up and dividing it by the number of cats.

Median is 10.5

Organize the numbers in order.

5,6,7,10,11,12,14,15

Cross numbers off till you get to the middle.

You are left with 10 and 11.

Add the two.

Then divide by two to get your answer.
