Members of soccer team Frequency 1 2 Number of children attending party

Answer 1

6The mean number of children each team member will bring

Here, we want to get the mean number of students that each team member willl bring

From the histogram, we can deduce the following;

a) 4 team members will bring no (0) children

b) 3 team members will bring 1 children each

c) 5 team members will bring 2 children each

d) 2 team members will bring 3 children each

e) 1 team member will bring 5 children

So the totla number of children at the party will be;

4(0) + 3(1) + 5(2) + 2(3) + 1(5)

= 0 + 3 + 10 + 6 + 5 = 24 children

The number of team members is 4 + 3 + 5+2 + 1 = 15

So, the mean number each will bring is; the number of children attending the party divided by the number of team members

`(24)/(15)\text{ = 1.6}`
