Respuesta :

Answer:

(a)See attached

(b)[tex]\text{Average Weight =}\dfrac{1}{4}$ lb[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights of the bag are given below:

[tex]1/8 lb, 1/4 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/2 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/4 lb, 1/8lb, 1/2 lb \\1/8 lb, 1/4 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/2 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/4 lb, 1/2 lb.[/tex]

When sorted, we have:

[tex]1/8 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/8lb, 1/8 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/8 lb, 1/8 lb\\ 1/4 lb,1/4 lb, 1/4 lb, 1/4 lb\\ 1/2 lb, 1/2 lb, 1/2 lb,1/2 lb,[/tex]

  • 8 bags weigh [tex]\frac{1}{8}lb[/tex]
  • 4 bags weigh [tex]\frac{1}{4}lb[/tex]
  • 4 bags weigh [tex]\frac{1}{2}lb[/tex]

Part A

See attached for the Line plot

Part B

Average Weight of the bags

[tex]=\dfrac{(8X\dfrac{1}{8})+ (4X\dfrac{1}{4})+(4X\dfrac{1}{2})}{16} \\=\dfrac{1+1+2}{16}\\=\dfrac{4}{16}\\$Average Weight =\dfrac{1}{4}$ lb[/tex]
