Question

You weigh five kittens all from the same litter and get the following data in pounds 1.05, 1.2, 1.1, 5,12 and then 1.4 calculate the average weight of the kittens in pounds would your answer be 1.15, 1.3 1.0 or 1.2

Answer 1

To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you add up all the weights and then divide by the total number of kittens.

1.05 + 1.2 + 1.1 + 5.12 + 1.4 = 9.87

Now, divide by 5 (since there are 5 kittens):

9.87 / 5 = 1.974

Therefore, the average weight of the kittens is approximately 1.97 pounds. So, the closest answer from the options provided would be 1.2.
