Question

A librarian wants to determine how often local families use the library's tutoring service. He asks several volunteers to randomly survey people at the library about the number of times their family used the service in the past month.
Here are the data for one volunteer:
20 4 0 2 0 0 3 16 0 10
What is the mean number of times families in this survey used the service?

Answer 1

Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean number of times families in this survey used the service can be calculated by adding up all the numbers and then dividing by the total count of numbers.

Adding up the numbers:

20 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 3 + 16 + 0 + 10 = 55

There are 10 numbers in the survey data.

Now, to find the mean:

Mean = Total sum of numbers / Total count of numbers

Mean = 55 / 10

Mean = 5.5

Therefore, the mean number of times families in this survey used the service is 5.5.
