Question

A class conduct an experiment in biology. They place a number of 1 m by 1 m square grids on the playing field and count the number of plants in each grid. The results obtained are given below.

6 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 0 1
0 3 2 1 1 4 0 1 2 0
1 1 2 2 2 4 3 1 1 1
2 3 3 1 2 2 2 1 7 1
(a)
Calculate the mean number of plants.

Answer 1

Explanation:

their mean is....

6+3+2+1+3+2+1+3+0+1/10=2.1

3+2+1+1+4+0+1+2+0/10=1.4

1+1+2+2+2+4+3+1+1+1/10=1.8

2+3+3+1+2+2+2+1+7+1/10=2.4

the means are 2.1,1.4,1.8,2.4

the average mean is

21+14+18+24/40

32+45/40

77/40=1.925

the average mean is 1.925
