Given the weight of the 10bags of apples below,
[tex]2\frac{1}{2},2\frac{3}{4},2\frac{1}{2},2\frac{1}{4},1\frac{1}{4},2\frac{1}{2},2\frac{1}{2},1\frac{1}{4},2\frac{1}{4},2\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
The formula for average(Mean) is,
[tex]\text{Average}=\frac{Sum\text{ of numbers}}{\text{Amount of numbers}}[/tex]
The sum of the weight is,
[tex]2\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{3}{4}+2\frac{1}{2}_{}+2\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{1}{4}+2\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{4}+2\frac{1}{4}+2\frac{1}{4}=22[/tex]
The amount of the weight = 10
Hence, the expression that shows the average weight of the bag is,
[tex]\text{Average = }\frac{\text{22}}{10}\text{pounds}[/tex]
Let us now evaluate the expression
[tex]\text{Average}=2\frac{1}{5}\text{ pounds or 2.2pounds}[/tex]
Hence, the answer is
[tex]2\frac{1}{5}\text{pounds or 2.2pounds}[/tex]
