Possible answer: The median is 14.5. The interquartile range is 4, with Qt at 12 and Q3 at 16. This means that 50% of the restaurants offer between 12 and 16 toppings. Actually more than 50% of the values are in this range. Only three values are greater than 16 and only one value is less than 12. The median, 14.5, does seem like a typical value, but offering half a topping doesn’t make sense, so 'would say the typical number of toppings is 14 or 15.
