Question

A farmer has a herd of cattle with an average weight of 1,000 pounds. He breeds a group of his heaviest cattle, which have an average weight of 1,800 pounds. The weight of each offspring is listed below. Offspring 1: 1,648 pounds Offspring 2: 1,640 pounds Offspring 3: 1,718 pounds Offspring 4: 1,794 pounds What’s the average weight of the offspring? The average weight of the offspring is pounds.

Answer 1

Answer:

The average weight would be 1700 pounds.

Explanation:

Given,

Weight of,

Offspring 1 = 1,648 pounds,

Offspring 2 = 1,640 pounds,

Offspring 3 = 1,718 pounds,

Offspring 4 = 1,794 pounds

Since,

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

Hence, the average weight of the offspring

$=\frac{1648+1640+1718+1794}{4}$

$=\frac{6800}{4}$

$=1700\text{ pounds}$

Answer 2

The answer is 1700 pounds
