Three New Data Charts!

Your goal is to make three charts that present the data about our Tilapia.
These charts will present data about fish size and mass over time, but require you to check for the average.

For fish size: Find largest fish and smallest fish for each day, and average those two numbers for average fish size. On days when only one number is given, use that number as the average size.

For fish mass: Copy the average mass for each day. Make sure you do not copy the total mass for three fish. 

An example of the first chart looks like this...

Tank 1Av. Fish Size (centimeters)Av. Fish Mass (grams)
10/28/20146.414
11/7/20145.418
11/14/20146.516.7
11/21/20148.118.7
12/3/2014NAna
12/5/20149.848
Overall Average????
  
Find the answer to those question marks - what is the average of each column? 

Create one more table for Tank 2, and one for Tank 3. Once we have that data, we can really see which tank resulted in faster growth for our fish. We can also calculate the rate of growth for each tank, which is the amount of growth in the total number of days (39 days total?)
