Answer:

1. 52

2. 2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, we take all the numbers, add them up then divide by the number of numbers.

1. mean height

mean = (50+54+52+56+48)/5

=260/5

=52

52 inches

2. mean score

There are 5+3+12+2+6+6+4 students = 38 students

Multiply the number of students times the score and add together

total points = (0*5+1*3+2*12+3*2+4*6+5*6+6*4)

= 111

The mean is the total points divided by the number of students

mean = 111/38

=2.92

Answer:

[tex]\bar x = 52inch\\\bar x_w = 2.92[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the data recorded in the table, the average of the students' heights is calculated with the expression for the arithmetic mean:

[tex]\bar x =\frac{1}{n} \sum x_i[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{1}{5}(48 + 50 + 52 + 54 + 56) = \frac{260}{5} = 52[/tex]inch.

In the same way, the weighted average must be used to find the average football score:

[tex]\bar x_w = \frac{\sum x_i * w_i}{\sum w_i}[/tex], where wi are the frequencies of each response.

[tex]\bar x_w = (0 * 5 + 1 * 3 + 2 * 12 + 3 * 2 + 4 * 6 + 5 * 6 + 6 * 4) / (5 + 3 + 12 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 4) = \frac{111}{38} = 2.92[/tex]
