Question

Two of Mr. Barnaby's cats just had kittens. The line plot shows the weights of the 8 kittens at 3 weeks old. What is the average weight, in kilograms, among all of the kittens?

Answer 1

The average weight of the kittens is calculated by summing their individual weights and dividing by the number of kittens, which is 8. To calculate kinetic energy of the sheep and lamb, we use their given masses and velocities in the kinetic energy formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average weight of Mr. Barnaby's kittens at 3 weeks old, we need the total weight of all kittens and the number of kittens. Although the specific weights of the kittens are not provided in the question, the process involves adding all the individual weights together and then dividing by the total number of kittens, which is 8 in this case. To find the average weight of the kittens, we need to add up all the weights and then divide by the number of kittens.

According to the line plot, there are 8 kittens. Let's add up the weights: 0.5 + 0.6 + 0.4 + 0.8 + 0.7 + 0.6 + 0.9 + 1.2 = 5.7 kilograms. Now, we divide by 8 to find the average: 5.7 / 8 = 0.7125 kilograms. So, the average weight among all the kittens is 0.7125 kilograms.

Answer 2

`\text{Average Weight}=(1)/(8)\sum\limits^(8)_(i=1){X_(i)}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The average value of a data set is the representation of the central tendency of the data set, i.e. the average of a set is the measure of center.

The formula to compute the average of a data set is:

`\text{Average}=(1)/(N)\sum\limits^(N)_(i=1){X_(i)}`

Here,

N = number of observation in the data set

`\sum\limits^(N)_(i=1){X_(i)}` = sum of all the observations

It is provided that the line plot shows the weights of the 8 kittens at 3 weeks old.

So, there are a total of N = 8 kittens.

The formula to compute the average weight is:

`\text{Average Weight}=(1)/(8)\sum\limits^(8)_(i=1){X_(i)}`
