Total pets owned | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Number of adults | 248 | 567 | 1402 | 728 | 419 | 456 | 203 |
What is the estimated mean for the population? Explain your answer and show your work.
Answer: 526.9
The formula to find the estimated mean for the population based on the data will be: Mean= (Σ f(x)) / (Σ f)
x is going to be the Total of Pets Owned, while f is going to be the Number of Adults.
By plugging in the data into this formula you get:
((1*248)+(2*567)+(3*1402)+(4*728)+(5*419)+(6*456)+(7*203)) / (1+2+3+4+5+6+7)
Simplify and reduce
14752/28 = 526.857
Round up: 526.9
Thank You SO Freaking Much!!!
