The average number of breaths per minute would be 67.6 breaths per minute.

Average can be calculated by dividing the sum of the observation by the number of observations,

[tex]Average = \frac{sum of observations}{number of observation}[/tex]

Step by step Explanation:

Over the course of 5 minutes, the squirrel takes

65 + 73 + 67+ 71+ 62 = 338 breaths in 5 minutes

So, the sum of observation = 338 and

the number of observations = 5

So If you take that number and divide it by the number of minutes, you will get the average.

[tex]=\frac{338}{5}[/tex]  

 67.6 breaths per minute.

Thus, the correct answer is - 67.6 breaths per minute.
