The table below shows the size of nine families selected at random from two neighborhoods in a large city:

Family Size (in number of people)

Neighborhood Q 2 5 4 3 2 5 3 6 5
Neighborhood S 2 3 2 3 7 2 3 3 2

Which neighborhood appears to have a bigger family size? Explain your answer using two or three sentences.

here you have to compute the subsequent mean values:

$$\Large \begin{gathered}
  {m_1} = \frac{{2 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 6 + 5}}{9} = ... \hfill \
   \hfill \
  {m_2} = \frac{{2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 7 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2}}{9} = ... \hfill \ 
\end{gathered} $$
