To find the mean number of pets in the line plot, we first need to determine the numbers that each x represents. From the line plot, we can see that the numbers represented by the x's are: 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2.
Adding all these numbers together, we get: 2+4+2+4+2+4+2+2+2+4+2+4+2+2+2+4+2 = 48.
There are a total of 17 x's in the line plot, so to find the mean number of pets, we divide the sum by 17: 48 / 17 = 2.82.
Therefore, the mean number of pets is 2.82.

The correct answer is:
C) 2.82
C) 2.82
there is no 2.82
My apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the mean number of pets again using the correct values:
Given numbers represented by the x's in the line plot: 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2
Adding all these numbers together: 2+4+2+4+2+4+2+2+2+4+2+4+2+2+2+4+2 = 48
There are 17 values in total.
Now, calculating the mean: 48 / 17 = 2.82
So, the mean number of pets is 2.82.
I hope this clarifies the calculation.
