Question

A line plot shows the weight of stones found in a stream. What is the means or average weight, in pounds, of the stones 1/6, 1/6, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 2/3, 2/3, 5/6 I don't think we convert it into decimal what's the right answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean weight ≅ 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean weight = (1/6 + 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/2 + 2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3 + 5/6) ÷ 10 =  7/12 = 0.4666666666666666666666 ≅ 0.47

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following samples:

1/6

1/6

1/3

1/3

1/3

1/2

2/3

2/3

2/3

5/6

Mean = summation of samples/number of samples

= (1/6 + 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/2 + 2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3 + 5/6)/10

= 14/30

= 7/15
