The mean is computed as follows:

$\operatorname{mean}=\frac{\text{ sum of terms}}{\text{ number of terms}}$

The mean of Mrs. Gorbin's class is:

$\begin{gathered} \operatorname{mean}=(2\cdot47+\cdot1\cdot51+5\cdot53+2\cdot55+1\cdot57+3\cdot60+1\cdot65)/(15) \\ \operatorname{mean}=(94+51+265+110+57+180+65)/(15) \\ \operatorname{mean}=(822)/(15) \\ \operatorname{mean}=54.8 \end{gathered}$

The mean of Mrs. Hamilton's class is:

$\begin{gathered} \operatorname{mean}=(1\cdot45+1\cdot51+2\cdot55+3\cdot57+5\cdot60+3\cdot65)/(15) \\ \operatorname{mean}=(45+51+110+171+300+195)/(15) \\ \operatorname{mean}=(872)/(15) \\ \operatorname{mean}\approx58.13 \end{gathered}$

Then, the mean of the data for Mrs. Hamilton's class is greater than the mean of the data for Mrs. Gorbin's class.
