Answer 1

Answer:

The average height of poodles in your kennel is 25.19 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a weighed average problem.

To find the weighed average, we sum each value of the set multiplied by it's weight, and then we divide by the sum of the weights.

In this problem, we have that:

Average 20.5 inches has weight 28.

Average 32.1 inches has weight 19.

What is the average height of poodles in your kennel?

$A = \frac{32.1*19 + 20.5*28}{19+28} = \frac{1183.9}{47} = 25.19$

The average height of poodles in your kennel is 25.19 inches.
