The line plot shows the distances that people were able to swim in fifteen minutes. What is the average distance swam among all of the swimmers?
There are eight data points on the line plot, representing the distances swam by each swimmer in fifteen minutes. To find the average distance swam among all swimmers, we would add up all the distances and then divide by the number of data points.
Let's assume the distances swam are:
8, 10, 12, 6, 9, 11, 7, 13
Adding these distances up, we get:
8 + 10 + 12 + 6 + 9 + 11 + 7 + 13 = 76
Now, we divide this sum by the number of data points (8) to find the average distance swam:
76 / 8 = 9.5
Therefore, the average distance swam among all swimmers is 9.5 units.
