A manufacturing company is shipping a certain number of orders that need to weigh between 187 and 188 pounds in order to ship. Use the dot plot data below to answer the following questions.

187, 187.1, 187.2, 187.3, 187.4, 187.5, 187.6, 187.7, 187.8,187.9,188

1. How many orders did the company ship between 196 and 197 pounds?

2. What was the most common order weight?

3. Was the average weight for this sample of orders closer to 196 pounds or 197 pounds?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a manufacturing company is shipping a certain number of orders that need to weigh between 187 and 188 pounds in order to ship.

Data is given below

Arranged in ascending order this would be

187, 187.1, 187.2, 187.3, 187.4, 187.5, 187.6, 187.7, 187.8,187.9,188

Min is 187 and max is 188

1) Orders between 196 and 197 is nil

2) common order weight is one which is maximum repeated

Here no entry is repeated more than once so no common order weight.

3) Average = sum/10

=187.5

It is neither closer to 196pounds
