Miriam took a survey, asking each family in her neighborhood how many pets they have. She made a bar chart showing the results:

Sum of (number of families * number of pets per ) / number of families  = average

 

( 6(0) + 3(1) + 3(2) + 6(3) + 1(4) + 1(5) )  / 20  = 1.8 pets

(0+1+2+3+4+5)/6 = 2.5

The average is 2.5 pets per family!
