Question
The table above shows the masses, in kilograms (kg), and lengths, in centimeters (cm), of the largest known specimens of the 9 most massive types of turtles and tortoises. The mean mass of the 9 turtles and tortoises is approximately 331kg. The mass of the Aldabra giant tortoise is closest to the mean mass. Which of the following is true about the length of the Aldabra giant tortoise in relation to the median length of the 9 turtles and tortoises?
- It is the median length.
- It is 29 cm longer than the median length.
- It is 10 cm longer than the median length.
- It is 10 cm shorter than the median length.
The correct answer is: It is 10 cm longer than the median length.
Median length of 9 Turtles is found by arranging them in increasing order
The increasing order: 81, 95, 100, 100, 140, 150, 187, 210, 213.
The middle -most value is the median of the data
The middle-most value is 140. Which is 10 cm. less than Aldabra giant tortoise.
