To find the mean number of calories per serving for the given snack foods, we need to add up the calories for each food and then divide by the number of food items.

Here are the calories for each food:

  • Corn chips: 230 calories
  • Popcorn (no butter): 25 calories
  • Potato chips: 115 calories
  • Pretzels: 62 calories

Now, let's add these together:

230 + 25 + 115 + 62 = 432 calories

Now we divide by the number of snack foods, which is 4:

Mean = Total calories / Number of items = 432 calories / 4 = 108 calories

So, the mean number of calories per serving for these foods is 108 calories.
