Question

A pet store has 6 cats. Here are their weights (in pounds). 14, 12, 8, 12, 11, 5 Find the mean weight of these cats. If necessary , round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Remember, that the mean is calculated by adding up totals and dividing the total by the number of scores.

In this case, we would add the weight's of the 6 cats which is 62 (14+12+8+12+11+5).

Now we divide the total weight (62) by the number of cats (6).

62/6 = 10.3333333333

Now round to the nearest tenth 10.3.

The mean weight of the cats is 10.3 pounds.
