A Correct answer
Explanation

Total children = (0*6) + (1*16) + (2*15) + (3*3) = 0 + 16 + 30 + 9 = 55. Total houses = 6 + 16 + 15 + 3 = 40. Average = 55 / 40 = 1.375.

AI explanation

The total number of children is (1 times 16) plus (2 times 15) plus (3 times 3), giving a sum of 16 plus 30 plus 9, which equals 55. The total number of houses is 6 plus 16 plus 15 plus 3, which equals 40. The average is 55 divided by 40, which equals 1.375. The result is 1.375.
