Question #a2230

Answer 1

The average bottle held `1.75` ounces of perfume

Explanation:

Let's see the data first:

There were `3` bottles that had `1` oz of perfume in them `2` that had `1.25` oz, `3` that had `1.5` oz, and `2` that had `2` oz

To find the average amount of perfume, we add all the ounces of perfume together, and then divide by the number of parts:

`(1 + 1 + 1 + 1.25 + 1.25 + 1.5 + 1.5+ 1.5 + 2 + 2)/(8) = 14/8 = 1.75`

So the average bottle held `1.75` ounces of perfume.
