Answer 1

The correct answer is A. 1.5

Explanation:

This is the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Week 1 2 3 4 5 6

Numbers of Books 2 3 1 2 0 1

**************************************************

Assuming that these six weeks are representative of his reading habits, what is the average number of books does Anthony read per week?

Let's calculate the average number of books, this way:

Average number of books Anthony reads per week = (2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 1)/6

Average number of books Anthony reads per week = 9/6

Average number of books Anthony reads per week = 1.5

The correct answer is A. 1.5
