Finding the average of a group of numbers is one way to analyze data. Dr. Brown found that 3 seeds kept at 25°C sprouted in 8, 8, and 5 days. To find the average number of
days that it took the seeds to sprout, she added 8, 8, and 5 and divided their sum by 3,
the number of subjects (seeds) in the group.
(8+8+5)
7 days
Dr. Brown also found that 3 seeds kept at 30°C sprouted in 6, 5, and 4 days. What's
the average number of days that it took these seeds to sprout?
