    This document presents data on 14 dog breeds including their weight in pounds and a brief description. It analyzes the data using various graphs: a line plot shows most dogs weigh 5-90 pounds with outliers of 5 and 264 pounds; a frequency table and histogram show the distribution of weights; and a box and whisker plot indicates the median weight is 54 pounds. The document determines line graphs would not effectively display this cross-sectional data without a time element.
