Question

James would like to learn how to make omelettes. He polls his family about the number of eggs they each use to make one. He gets the following numbers: 3, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 1 Find the mean number of eggs his family uses.

Answer 1

2 eggs

Explanation:

Mean is average, so add all the numbers together then divide by how many numbers there are.

3 + 3 + 2+ 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 16

16 ÷ 8 = 2
