Question

The following table shows the number of alligators in each body of water near Tom's house. Number of alligators 7,0,11,10 find the mean number of alligators.

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

So there were four different places and four different amounts of alligators.

The numbers are 7, 0, 11, 10.

When you add 7, 0, 11, 10, you get the number, you get 28.

You then divide 28 by 4, because there are four different numebrs on the chart. 7(1), 0(2), 11(3), 10(4).

After you divide this, the mean would be 7 because 28/4 = 7. (28/4 means 28 divided by 7)

Answer 2

Mean number of alligators = 7

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of alligators

7, 0, 11, 10

Sum of quantities = 7 + 0 + 11 + 10

Sum of quantities = 28

Number of quantities = 4

We can find the average by dividing the sum of quantities by number of quantities.

Mean =
`(28)/(4)`

Mean = 7

Hence,

Mean number of alligators = 7
