[Video] Q14: 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 means 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?

Explanation for Question 14 From the Math (Calc) Section on the 2020 October Sat

So question number 14 is telling us about a bunch of turtles and it 2 tells us that the al-ghabra giant has the, 3 um, is very close to the mean mass, 4 but they want to know about its length. And now if we look at 5 all our answer choices, we see that they all regard the median. 6 So it's going to be important for us to solve for the median. 7 Now we can do that by listing out all the terms or all the 8 numbers as I've done right here, and just going from end to end until 9 we get to the middle term. So if I go 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 10 I see that my median is going to be one 40. 11 And now if we look at the length of the Aldabra a giant sea 12 turtle, we see it's one 50 and one 50 is 10 greater than one 13 40 the median. So the answer choice that shows us that is see where 14 it says we're 10 centimeters longer, right? 15 10 centimeters, bigger than the median length of one 40.
