What is your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A dentist selected 16 patients at random from a population of more than 1000 patients and asked them how many times the patient flosses per week. The dentist made a line plot of the results. What is the estimated mode of the number of times all patients floss per week A 5 B 5.5 C 6 D 7

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Do you have a screenshot or a picture of the line plot? Also, MOde means the number that occured MOst

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is a graph

OpenStudy (frizz):

The one with the most x's in the line. That's your mode.

OpenStudy (moneybaby980):

7

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

right, since mode means the number that occurred most, which line has the most x's in them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 7

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Yep, you got it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Sure, no problem.

how would I find the mean of a group of numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the mean, take all of the numbers, add them up, then divide by how many numbers there are. for example. Take the numbers 5,6,8,9,15,16,19, and 20. We add those up to get a sum of 98. Now, divide by how many numbers there are, which is 8. 98 DIVIDED BY 8 equals 12.25. Which is the mean of that set of numbers. Hope this helps @dc360
