What is the mean of the numbers?

1 answer

To find the mean number of clubs that the students belong to, you first need to sum the total number of clubs and then divide by the number of students.

Let's list the number of clubs for each student:

  • Regan: 0 clubs
  • Vicky: 1 club
  • Sophia: 2 clubs
  • Luther: 3 clubs
  • Baldwin: 4 clubs
  • Colton: 5 clubs

Now, we can calculate the total number of clubs:

\[ 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15 \]

There are 6 students in total. Therefore, the mean is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total number of clubs}}{\text{Number of students}} = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5 \]

So, the mean number of clubs that the students belong to is 2.5.
