Apologies for the error in my response. Let's calculate the mean again to ensure accuracy.
To find the mean, we add up all the numbers of pizza eaten and then divide by the total number of people surveyed:
1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 6 = 35
35/10 = 3.5
So, the correct interpretation is: The mean (average) number of pieces of pizza eaten is 3.5. This means, on average, each person ate 3.5 pieces of pizza at the pizza party. Thank you for pointing out the mistake, and I appreciate your understanding.
