Q. Farmer Holstein weighed each of his cows. He found that Jo weighs 711711 kilograms, Marty weighs 533533 kilograms, and Jennifer weighs 664664 kilograms.\newlineFind the mean weight.\newlinekg \mathrm{kg}
  1. Calculate total weight: Calculate the total weight of all cows.\newlineTo find the mean weight, we first need to add up the weights of all the cows.\newlineTotal weight =Weight of Jo+Weight of Marty+Weight of Jennifer= \text{Weight of Jo} + \text{Weight of Marty} + \text{Weight of Jennifer}\newlineTotal weight =711 kg+533 kg+664 kg= 711 \, \text{kg} + 533 \, \text{kg} + 664 \, \text{kg}\newlineTotal weight =1908 kg= 1908 \, \text{kg}
  2. Count number of cows: Count the number of cows.\newlineFarmer Holstein has three cows: Jo, Marty, and Jennifer.\newlineNumber of cows = 33
  3. Calculate mean weight: Calculate the mean weight.\newlineThe mean weight is the total weight divided by the number of cows.\newlineMean weight = Total weightNumber of cows\frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{Number of cows}}\newlineMean weight = 1908 kg3\frac{1908\,\text{kg}}{3}\newlineMean weight = 636 kg636\,\text{kg}
