Using a not-so-intelligent computer

? What is the average weight of the adult women in this sample?

What does ‘ADULT’ mean? age greater than or equal to 18

Do you mean 18 ‘years’? yes

What does ‘WOMEN’ mean? sex is female

I think your question is ‘For all cases where AGE >= 18 and SEX = F, what is the average of WEIGHT?’
