You weigh 5 kittens all from the same litter and get the following data (in pounds): 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4.
Calculate the average weight of the kittens, in pounds.
A. 1.2
B. 1.0
C. 1.3
D. 1.15
To find the average weight of the kittens, we add up all the weights and divide by the number of kittens.
Adding up the weights: 1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 5.0
Dividing by the number of kittens: 5.0 / 5 = 1.0
Therefore, the average weight of the kittens is 1.0 pounds.
The answer is B. 1.0.
