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 1.2 1.2 1.3 1.3 1.15 1.15 1.0

Answer 1

To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you need to sum up their weights and then divide by the number of kittens.

The weights of the kittens are: 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4.

1. Calculate the total weight: \( 1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 6.1 , \text{pounds} \)

2. Count the number of kittens: There are 5 kittens.

3. Calculate the average weight: \( \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total Weight}}{\text{Number of Kittens}} \) \( \text{Average} = \frac{6.1}{5} = 1.22 , \text{pounds} \)

Therefore, the average weight of the kittens is 1.22 pounds. Since this value is not in the responses you provided, rounding it to two decimal places would yield approximately 1.2 pounds.

So, the closest response is 1.2.
