Question

You preform an experiment to determine how many breaths a fish takes per minute. Your experiment yields the following data: minute 1: 65 breaths; minute 2: 73 breaths; minute 5; 62 breaths. Calculate the average number of breaths that a fish takes per minute.

Answer 1

Alright, lets get started.

experiment yields the following data: minute 1: 65 breaths; minute 2: 73 breaths; minute 5: 62 breaths

Total number of breaths = $65+73+62 = 200$

Total minutes observes = 3 minutes

So, average breaths per minute will be = $\frac{200}{3}=66.67$

So, the average number of breaths that a fish takes per minute is 66.67.  :    Answer

Hope it will help :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The average number of breaths that a fish takes per minute is 66.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Your experiment yields the following data: minute 1: 65 breaths; minute 2: 73 breaths; minute 5; 62 breaths.

The formula for calculating average is:

$Average=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\tex{Number of observations}}$

Sum of observations = 65+73+62 = 200

Number of observations = 3

Now use the above formula to calculate the average.

$Average=\frac{200}{3}$

$Average=66.67$

Hence, the average number of breaths that a fish takes per minute is 66.67
