Answer 3

If I give a set of numbers, would you know how to find the mean of them?

Answer 4

@Bobo-i-bo i already explained how to find the mean to her twice :)

Answer 5

im really slow ;-;

Answer 6

at solving it, or at learning? @truwhovian11

Answer 7

both ;-;

Answer 8

okay well then do you want to walk through the problem together?

Answer 9

please ;-;

Answer 10

okay, so first we need to find all of our numbers, the dots above the numbers show how mnay of that number we have. so for example if theres 5 dots above the number 51 that means there are five 51's to add to the problem. so we would do

51 + 51 + 51 + 51 +51

we would add it 5 times because there are 5 dots.
so lets start doing that

Answer 11

theres 1 dot above 68 so 1 , 68 then

68 +

2 above 70

68 + 70 + 70

Answer 12

2 above 74

68 + 70 + 70 + 74 + 74

4 above 76

68 + 70 + 70+ 74 + 74 + 76 +76 + 76 + 76

so this isnt so long im going to add what weve got so far

660 is our total so far.

Answer 13

now we continue doing that for the rest of the numbers then add them up like i did above ^ do you think you can do that for me? take your time , im in no hurry :)

Answer 14

i just read it 3 times over but i still dont get it

Answer 15

Answer 17

@truwhovian11 If I gave you some numbers, do you know how to find the mean of those numbers? For example, if I give you the numbers 1, 2 and 5, would you know how to find the mean of the three numbers?
