Answer:

I don't know which school you are asking for, so here are all of them, followed by the general mean of all the schools.

a: 1.7

b: 4.7

c: 3.9

d: 5.3

e: 4.5

gen: 4

Explanation:

This is easiest to solve with a calculator.

When finding the mean, you need to add all the numbers together, then divide by how many numbers you added.

Let's say that you have the numbers 2, 5, and 8. You add them together to get 15, then divide 15 by 3. The mean is 5.

With your problem, the general mean of all 5 schools is 4.

Hope that this helps!

Explanation:

add up all of the numbers in the five groups then divide the numbers by the number of numbers you have for example if the sum of all of those numbers is let's a 25 and you have 5 numbers you'll divide 25 by 5 and your men will be 5:00 and if the sum of the numbers was 30 and you have six numbers you'll / 30by6 then your answer then the mean will be six
