A. 8.8 students per day on average were absent.
1) If the absence recorded was:
On Monday: 11
On Tuesday: 9
On Wed: 6
On Thu: 9
On Fri: 9
2) Since the number of weekdays were 5 we can calculate the mean of absent students by adding all those absences and dividing by 5
So, 11+9+6+9+9+9 =44
Dividing by 5
So the mean or the average of the absence was 8.8
