The weight of 10 bags of apples range from 2.75 pounds to 3.15 pounds.if w is the weight ,in pounds, of one of these bags, which of the following must be true ?
a | w – 2.75 | ≥ 0.2
b | w – 2.95 | ≤ 0.2
c | w + 2.95 | ≥ 0.2
d | w – 0.2 | ≤ 2.75
e | w - 10 | ≥ 3
-------
Find the average of 2.75 and 3.15: 2.95
