Question

During this past winter, Tatsu measured how many inches of snow came down after each snowfall. Her results were 8, 3, 2, 5, 10, and 2. Find the average for the 6 snowfalls.

Answer 1

5 inches

Explanation:

Add all the values and you get 30

Next divide by the number of values inputted (6) and you get 5

Answer 2

Average, A = 5

Explanation:

It is given that, during this past winter, Tatsu measured how many inches of snow came down after each snowfall. Her observed values are as follows :

8, 3, 2, 5, 10 and 2

We need find the average for the 6 snowfalls. The formula used to find the average is given by :

`A=(sum\ of\ data)/(no\ of\ data)`

Here, the sum of data = 30

No of data = 6

So, average becomes :

`A=(30)/(6)`

A = 5

So, the average for the 6 snowfalls is 5. Hence, this is the required solution.
