Answer 2

Answer is 4.1 shirts.

Explanation:

The number of T-shirts sold by each students are :

3, 4, 8, 5, 2, 5, 0, 5, 3, 4, 3, 7

To find out mean of the data we apply formula of mean :

Sum of the values / total number of the value

Mean = (3+4+8+5+2+5+0+5+3+4+3+7) / 12

= 49 / 12 = 4.08

When rounded to the nearest tenth we get 4.1 shirts.

The mean of the data set rounded to the nearest tenth is 4.1 .
