To find the mean of the total points scored by the Lady Tigers basketball team, you need to follow these steps:
-
Sum the points scored in all games. \[ 47 + 58 + 39 + 77 + 52 + 61 + 64 + 55 \]
Let's calculate that step by step:
\[ 47 + 58 = 105 \] \[ 105 + 39 = 144 \] \[ 144 + 77 = 221 \] \[ 221 + 52 = 273 \] \[ 273 + 61 = 334 \] \[ 334 + 64 = 398 \] \[ 398 + 55 = 453 \]
The total points scored is 453.
-
Divide the total by the number of games to find the mean. \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Points}}{\text{Number of Games}} = \frac{453}{8} \]
Now, divide 453 by 8: \[ 453 \div 8 = 56.625 \]
-
Round the mean to the nearest tenth. The value of 56.625 rounded to the nearest tenth is 56.6.
Thus, the mean to the nearest tenth is 56.6.
