Question

question: 10 giuliana has two bunches of similar bananas. one bunch has 6 bananas, and the other bunch has 7 bananas. the list below shows the weight, in grams, of each of the bananas in the bunch of 6. 138 118 121 164 140 115 which measurement is most likely closest to the total weight of the bunch of 7 bananas? a. 929 grams b. 1,048 grams c. 1,179 grams d. 1,368 grams

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the average weight of bananas in the bunch of 6

Find the sum of weights of 6 - banana bunch: $138 + 118+121 + 164+140+115=796$ grams. Then the average weight $\bar{x}=\frac{796}{6}\approx132.67$ grams.

Step2: Estimate the total weight of the bunch of 7 bananas

Multiply the average weight by 7. So the estimated total weight $W = 132.67\times7 = 928.69\approx929$ grams.

Answer:

A. 929 grams
