The table shows nine teams that finished the race with the corresponding number of dogs on each team. Given that the mean is 10, find the number of dogs on the Buser team at the finish as well as the median and the mode. Buser team: 10 dogs Median: 10 dogs Mode: 13 2.

What is each musher’s average speed per hour between Iditarod and Shageluk checkpoints? Change minutes to a fraction of the hour by dividing 60 minutes into the number of minutes in each musher’s race time. 8 minutes divided by 60 = .13 65 miles divided by 8.13 hr. = 7.9 mph DeeDee 40 minutes divided by 60 = .66. 65 miles divided by 7.66 hr. = 8.5 mph Lance 3. 102 mushers are racing the 2006 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race ™ as of January 2006.
