To find mean:

1) Add up all data values to get the sum

2) Count the number of values in your data set

3) Divide the sum by the count

First we have to find all the data values. We do this by finding all of the peas, not just the information numbers of peas in a pod.

4 x 2 = 8

5 x 10 = 50

6 x 18 = 108

7 x 14 = 98

8 x 6 = 48

8 + 50 + 108 + 98 + 48 = 312 total number of peas

2 + 10 + 18 + 14 + 6 = 50

312 / 50 = 6.24 peas per pod

So in our example the mean number of peas in a pod is 6.24.

I hope this helps! :)

I think the answer for the mean is 6.

To get the mean you have to add up the total number of peas in a pod, then divide the amount you added up by how many pods there are. :)
