Give your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Mean = 5.08

Explanation:

The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

`(2.3 + 0.3 + 7 + 6.1 + 9.7)/(5)`

`= (25.4)/(5)`

= 5.08
