5.2

Explanation:

adding all the numbers together and dividing it by 10.

Answer 2

mean = 5.2

Explanation:

The mean (or average) of a group of numbers is defined as the value calculated by adding all the given numbers together and then dividing the result by the number of numbers given.

Therefore,

`\boxed{\mathrm{mean = (sum \ of \ the \ numbers)/(number \ of \ numbers)}}`.

In the question, the numbers given are: 3, 7, 2, 4, 7, 5, 7, 1, 8, and 8.

Therefore,

sum = 3 + 7 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 5 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 8

= 52

There are 10 numbers given in the question. Therefore, using the formula given above, we can calculate the mean:

`\mathrm{mean = (52)/(10)}`

`= \bf 5.2`

Hence, the mean of the given numbers is 5.2.
