Answer:
The total weight is 5kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for box plot
Required
Determine the total weight of the kitten
First, we represent the plot in the following table where the number of dots represent the frequency.
So, we have:
[tex]Weight \to Frequency[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \to 3[/tex]
[tex]1 \to 2[/tex]
[tex]1\frac{1}{2} \to 1[/tex]
[tex]2 \to 0[/tex]
[tex]2\frac{1}{2} \to 0[/tex]
Multiply the weight by the frequency, then add up the result
So, we have:
[tex]Total = \frac{1}{2} * 3 + 1 * 2 + 1\frac{1}{2} * 1 + 2 * 0 + 2\frac{1}{2} * 0[/tex]
[tex]Total = 1\frac{1}{2} + 2 + 1\frac{1}{2} + 0 + 0[/tex]
[tex]Total = 1\frac{1}{2} + 2 + 1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Express as improper fraction
[tex]Total = \frac{3}{2} + 2 + \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]Total = \frac{3+4+3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{10}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Total = 5kg[/tex]
