Question

The average weight of the top 5 fish caught at fishing tournament was 12.3 pounds. Some. Of the weights of the fish are shown in the table

Answer 1

Weight of fish caught by Wayne S is 14.6 pounds

Further explanation

The average value is the total number of data values ​​of a sample divided by the number of data/samples

Calculation of the average value is usually used in statistics

The average value is usually used as a comparison for other groups of data, so it can be used as an evaluation and analysis of all data

Can be formulated:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{Average=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data}{Lots\:of\:data}}}}$

The average weight of the top 5 fish caught at the fishing tournament was 12.3 pounds, so the total weight of 5 fish:

Total weight = 12.3 x 5 = 61.5 pounds

Total weight of 4 known fishes:

Total weight of 4 fish: 12.8 + 12.6 + 11.8 + 9.7 = 46.9 pounds

So the weight of the unknown fish (Caught by Wayne S):

Weight of fish = Total weight - Total weight of 4 fish

Weight of fish = 61.5 - 46.9

Weight of fish = 14.6 pounds

Answer 2

First you would find the total weight of all the 5 fishes that were caught, since 12.3 pounds is the average. You would d this by multiplying 12.3 and 5
(12.3)(5)=61.5 pounds
Then in order to find the pound of the unknown fish, you would find the total of the pounds of the other fishes which is given o you in the table and then subtract it from 61.5 which is the total weight of all 5 fishes.
61.5-46.9=14.6 pounds
