An engineer tests the strength of a new material by seeing how much weight it can hold before breaking. The last tests were as follows:
1,200 lbs, 1,400 lbs, 1,300 lbs, 1,500 lbs, 950 lbs, 1,600 lbs, 1,300 lbs
Do you think that this material will be able to hold more than 1,300 lbs in the next test? Explain your reasoning.
