[GIS] Mosaic to New Raster outputs whole numbers instead of decimals

arcgis-desktoparcmapmergemosaicraster

I just ran the ArcMap Mosaic to New Raster tool to merge 5 rasters of pH levels in different farms. These individual rasters have values that are decimals. When I run the tool, the output is in whole numbers. Why is this occurring and how do I change it? Could it be an environment setting, a tool property setting, or a data property setting? Nothing looks even remotely out of place.

You need to change the Pixel Type (optional) to 32_Bit_Float or 64_Bit, if you want decimals:

32_BIT_FLOAT—A 32-bit data type supporting decimals

64_BIT—A 64-bit data type supporting decimals.

By default it is 8_BIT_UNSIGNED, which means unsigned integer.
