Given that

The weight of 8 cats is 5, 13, 11, 13, 16, 13, 11, 7 and we need to find the mean of the data.

And the weight is in pounds.

Explanation -

The total number of cats is 8.

The formula for the mean is


Mean=\frac{Sum\text{ of all the observations}}{Toal\text{ observations}}

Substituting the values we have


Mean=(5+13+11+13+16+13+11+7)/(8)=(89)/(8)=11.125

After roundoff, the mean weight will be 11.1 pounds.

So the final answer is 11.1 pounds
