You have 38 baskets of apples. Each basket holds roughly a bushel of apples. Each basket contains anywhere between 5 and 90 apples, some are overflowing, some are almost empty. Each apple may have up to 2 insects within, and anywhere between 0 and 2 leaves attached. Assuming you eat 1 apple from each basket, how much does the median basket weigh and what is the gross volume of apples within?
Assuming the variety is honey crisp which has an average weight of 2.5 apples per pound and an average bushel weight of 40lbs, we get 100 apples per bushel. Assuming an even distribution and due to lack of information, the median is estimated to be 19.5lbs per basket with the volume being estimated to be 684 cubic inches.
It turns out that not only did the U.S. not have the most frequent mass shootings, it was No. 62 on the list, lower than places like Norway, Finland, and Switzerland.
