Question

Sarita recorded the distances she ran for 5 days: 5 miles, 4 miles, 5.5 miles, 4.5 miles, and 5.5 miles. What is the mean distance Sarita ran

Answer 1

`= (5 + 4 + 5.5 + 4.5 + 5.5) / 5`

`= 24.5 / 5 \\ = 4.9miles`

Answer 2

Mean means average

Add them all up, then divide by the total amount.

In this case the sum of the 5 values is 24.5 miles

A total of 5 values, so 24.5/5= 4.9 miles

She ran 4.9 miles on average
