no, that would be mode. Mean is the average of the numbers. To find the mean, add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are

:D

Answer 16

oh ok hold on!

Answer 17

ok i added all of them up and than divided so i did all those numbers divided by 16 and got 4.25

Answer 18

so, not quite.. but ur getting close. Just to clear some things up, why did you divide by 16?

Answer 19

and the question was to move it to one decimal place......so i think it would be 4.2 or no?

Answer 20

cuz there were 16 numbers total!

Well I could be wrong, but it is asking for the mean of Variable B, yet you took in consideration both B and A (they are both different values)

oh so variable b numbers are 8,6,5,3,3, 2,2,1 so do i add those up?

Answer 24

yup! then divide by 8

Answer 25

oh ok!

Answer 26

ok i got 3.75

Answer 27

it said to move it to one decimal place......so would it be 3.7?
