Question

Kelly likes to fish at the lake near her house. She caught 8 fish last week, measured them, and put them back in the lake. The lengths of the fish, in inches, are shown.

9, 12, 10, 8, 11, 12, 13, 6

Assuming this data is representative of the fish in the lake, what is the mean length of the fish in the lake?

A.
10.125 inches

B.
1.875 inches

C.
3.5 inches

D.
10.5 inches

Answer 1

To find the mean, you must add all of the value and then divide by how many there were so
(9+12+10+8+11+12+13+6)/8
81/8
10.125 inches
