Answer: The average number of hours she danced per day is 1.9 hours (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation: We start by calculating how many hours she danced all together which can be derived as follows;

Summation = 3 +2 +2 + 1 + 1.5 + 2 = 11.5

The number of days she danced which is the observed data is 6 days (she did not dance at all on Wednesday).

The average (or mean) hours she danced each day can be calculated as

Average = ∑x ÷ x

Where ∑x is the summation of all data and x is number of observed data

Average = (3+2+2+1+1.5+2) ÷ 6

Average = 11.5 ÷ 6

Average = 1.9166

Approximately, average hours danced is 1.9 hours (to the nearest tenth)
