Answer:

10.4

Explanation:

the mean is you add up all of the numbers then divide by the amount of numbers so in this case it would be

10+7+16+11+16+6+6=73

There are 7 numbers so

73/7=10.42

Rounded to the nearest tenth would be 10.4

Answer: 10.43 lbs

Explanation:

To find the mean (average) of a group of numbers we simply add the numbers and divide by the total number of items we added.

In our example we get (10+7+16+11+16+6+7)/7

= 73/7

= 10.4285714286

= 10.4 (answer is rounded to the nearest tenth)
