A pot of dolphins contains 800 dolphins of various ages and lengths. The median length of dolphins in this pod is 5.8 feet. What information does this tell you about the length of dolphins in this pod?

kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that number of dolphins = 800 with different length and ages

Median length = 5.8 feets

The median may be explained to be a measure of center which gives the information as regards around the middle or midpoint of a dataset. According to the information above, the median length if the 800 dolphins is 5.8 feets, this means the 50th percentile value is 5.8 feets and hence, Half of the dolphins sampled have a length which is greater than 5.8 feets and the other half has a length which is less than 5.8 feets.

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
