Question

Can yall help me with this?

Answer 1

The mean is 8.6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

"mean" is the average, the way people might talk about it in common language (not necessarily math class language.)

To calculate the mean, you ADD and DIVIDE. You add up all the numbers in your list and divide by however many numbers there are.

ADD:

5+5+15+12+14+6+3

= 60

Then DIVIDE by 7 (bc there are 7 items in the list)

60/7

= 8.5714285714

They said to round to the nearest tenth.

8.5714285714 rounds to 8.6

The mean is 8.6 minutes.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add all the numbers together which equals 60.

Next, divide 60 by the number of numbers in problem. In this problem there are 7 numbers.

Lastly, after you divide 60 by 7 you get 8.57142857. Since the problem asks for the answer rounded to the nearest tenth, look at the number next to the tenth, which is 5 in this problem. The number 7 tells you to round up so the answer becomes 8.6
