Question

Mason loves collecting sea glass from the beach. He recorded the weight of each jar full of sea glass. If he decided to distribute the sea glass equally among the jars, how much would each jar weigh? pounds (Write mixed numbers as x y/z.)

Answer 1

The missing weights are:

2 2 2 1 11 12 12 2 24 22 24 3 37 22

Answer:

$Average = 12\frac{4}{7} \ lb$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Weight of sea glass

To solve this question, we have to calculate the mean of the weight of the sea glass as follows;

$Average = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

Where n = number of sea glass

$n = 14$

So:

$Average = \frac{\sum x}{n}$ becomes

$Average = \frac{2 +2 + 2 + 1 + 11 +12 +12 +2 +24+22 +24 +3 +37+ 22}{14}$

$Average = \frac{176}{14}$

$Average = 12\frac{8}{14}$

Simplify fraction

$Average = 12\frac{4}{7}$

Hence; the weight of the sea glass would be $12\frac{4}{7}\ lb$ when evenly distributed...
