The frequency table shows the weights of different dogs that are staying at an overnight pet care facility. Dogs that weigh between 0 and 30 pounds can be put into areas with a total of 5 dogs. How many areas are needed for this group of dogs?
The frequency table is as follows:
Weight (lbs) | Frequency
0-10 | 2
11-20 | 3
21-30 | 7
To determine the number of areas needed for dogs weighing between 0 and 30 pounds, we need to calculate how many groups of 5 dogs can be formed from the total number of dogs in this weight range.
Total number of dogs in the weight range = 2 + 3 + 7 = 12
Number of areas needed = Ceiling[Total number of dogs / 5] = Ceiling[12 / 5] = Ceiling[2.4] = 3
Therefore, 3 areas are needed for dogs weighing between 0 and 30 pounds to be put into groups of 5.
so the answer is
3 areas are needed for dogs weighing between 0 and 30 pounds to be put into groups of 5.
actually its 15 brub
Apologies for the mistake in my previous calculation. Let's correct it:
Total number of dogs in the weight range = 2 + 3 + 7 = 12
Number of areas needed = Ceiling[Total number of dogs / 5] = Ceiling[12 / 5] = Ceiling[2.4] = 3
Therefore, there will indeed be 3 areas needed for dogs weighing between 0 and 30 pounds to be put into groups of 5. Thank you for pointing out the error.
