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:

[tex]\text{Average Weight}=\frac{1}{8}\sum\limits^{8}_{i=1}{X_{i}}[/tex]

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:

[tex]\text{Average}=\frac{1}{N}\sum\limits^{N}_{i=1}{X_{i}}[/tex]

Here,

N = number of observation in the data set

[tex]\sum\limits^{N}_{i=1}{X_{i}}[/tex] = 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:

[tex]\text{Average Weight}=\frac{1}{8}\sum\limits^{8}_{i=1}{X_{i}}[/tex]
