1 answer

To find the weighted average rating, we need to multiply each rating by its frequency, add up the products, and divide by the total frequency.

Mean rating = (5 x 223) + (4 x 48) + (3 x 25) + (2 x 1) + (1 x 3) / (223 + 48 + 25 + 1 + 3)
Mean rating = 1115 + 192 + 75 + 2 + 3 / 300
Mean rating = 1385 / 300
Mean rating = 4.62 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the mean (weighted average) rating of the pizza cutter is 4.62 stars.
