Answer:

Explanation:

In this problem, you have to work sort of backwards.

The mean is 2.3 and there are 6 numbers [including this missing one] so multiply 2.3 by 6.

2.3 x 6 = 13.8

Now, subtract the 5 values you know from 13.8

13.8 - 2.3 - 4.1 - 1.2 - 1 - 0.5 = 4.7

Thus, the missing value is 4.7

I hope this helps!
