Ryan's science class is hatching baby chickens. Six eggs that they had been incubating all hatched on the same day. As part of their observations, the teacher weighed five of the baby chickens.

Chick Mass
1 20.3 g
2 19.6 g
3 20.2 g
4 21.1 g
5 19.8 g

Then, the teacher asked the students to predict the mass of the sixth baby chicken. The last baby chicken seemed bigger to Ryan, so he predicted that it had a mass of 35.0 g. Is his prediction reasonable?

No; even if the sixth chicken is larger, Ryan's prediction is too high.

Yes; Ryan's prediction falls within a reasonable
