Calculate mean weight: Calculate the mean of the weights of a cup of flour to determine a typical value. The mean is given as 116 grams.
Compare mean to choices: Compare the mean to the choices provided. The mean represents the average weight, which is a typical value in a data set.
Match choice to mean: Choice (B) is 116 grams, which matches the calculated mean. This suggests that 116 grams is a typical weight for a cup of flour in Kiera's data.
