You weigh 5 kittens all from the same litter and get the following data (in pounds): 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4. Calculate the average weight of the kittens, in pounds. (1 point) Responses 1.3 1.3 1.15 1.15 1.0 1.0 1.2 1.2
Explain to me how I would do this?
And what the question is asking.
Explain clear and thoroughly.
To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you need to find the sum of all their weights and then divide it by the total number of kittens.
In this case, you have the weights of five kittens: 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, and 1.4.
Step 1: Find the sum of the weights.
Add up all the weights: 1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 5.0
Step 2: Divide the sum by the total number of kittens.
Since you have 5 kittens, divide the sum (5.0) by 5:
5.0 / 5 = 1.0
The average weight of the kittens is 1.0 pound.
The question is asking for the average weight of the kittens, which is a measure of central tendency. It provides you with a single number that represents the typical weight of the kittens in the litter.
