Also, would this count as statistics?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think it is the weighted average

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

oh.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

The sentence just doesn't make sense to me.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

I don't get what it's asking. D:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that your exercise is asking for the best value of the quantity which is represented by your distribution here is the value of the weighted average: \[\frac{{2 + 3 + 2 \times 3 + 2 \times 4 + 3 \times 5 + 4 \times 6 + 3 \times 7 + 3 \times 8 + 2 \times 9 + 11}}{{22}}\]

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

i got 65920.590909 :/

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Could it just be 66 (i rounded)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, please here are more steps: \[\begin{gathered} \frac{{2 + 3 + 2 \times 3 + 2 \times 4 + 3 \times 5 + 4 \times 6 + 3 \times 7 + 3 \times 8 + 2 \times 9 + 11}}{{22}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{5 + 6 + 8 + 15 + 24 + 21 + 24 + 18 + 11}}{{22}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{34 + 69 + 29}}{{22}} = \frac{{132}}{{22}} = ... \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

-3- okay, I will try...to do this

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

1) 65920.590909 2) 6 3) 6 4) 6

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is 6

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

:D Yay! Just curious, how did you get all those numbers?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Sorry I have made an error, in reading your values, here is the right weighted average: \[\begin{gathered} \frac{{1 + 2 + 2 \times 3 + 2 \times 4 + 3 \times 5 + 4 \times 6 + 3 \times 7 + 3 \times 8 + 2 \times 9 + 11}}{{22}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{3 + 6 + 8 + 15 + 24 + 21 + 24 + 18 + 11}}{{22}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{32 + 69 + 29}}{{22}} = \frac{{130}}{{22}} = ... \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

1) 49426.0454545 2) 5.909090 3) 5.909090 4) 5.9090 So, 5.9? or 6

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the right result is 5.9, so we can pick 6

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

namely the right answer is 6

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

oh yay! Thank you! Thank you! So much!
