To find the mean of the total points scored by the Lady Tigers basketball team, you need to follow these steps:
1. **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**.
2. **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:
\[
453 \div 8 = 56.625
\]
3. **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**.
1. **Sum the points scored in all games.**

\[
334 + 64 = 398
\]
\[
398 + 55 = 453
\]
The total points scored is **453**.
2. **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:
\[
453 \div 8 = 56.625
\]
3. **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**.
