To calculate the mean number of beans eaten for each three-day period, you will want to follow these steps:
- Sum the number of beans eaten for each three-day period.
- Divide that sum by the number of days in the period (which is 3).
Example Calculation:
Suppose the data for the number of beans eaten on each day is as follows:
- Day 1: 10 beans
- Day 2: 15 beans
- Day 3: 20 beans
- Day 4: 25 beans
- Day 5: 30 beans
- Day 6: 35 beans
- Day 7: 40 beans
- Day 8: 45 beans
- Day 9: 50 beans
Step 1: Calculate the Sums for Each Three-Day Period:
- Days 1 to 3: \( 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 \)
- Days 4 to 6: \( 25 + 30 + 35 = 90 \)
- Days 7 to 9: \( 40 + 45 + 50 = 135 \)
Step 2: Calculate the Means:
- Mean for Days 1 to 3: \( \frac{45}{3} = 15 \)
- Mean for Days 4 to 6: \( \frac{90}{3} = 30 \)
- Mean for Days 7 to 9: \( \frac{135}{3} = 45 \)
Final Results:
Now, you can record these means in Table E:
| Period | Mean Number of Beans Eaten | |------------|-----------------------------| | Days 1 to 3 | 15 | | Days 4 to 6 | 30 | | Days 7 to 9 | 45 |
If you have specific values from your Table D, please provide those numbers, and I can help calculate the means based on that data.
