Question

the following table shows the number of raisins in a scoop of different brands of raisin bran cereal.
brand: generic, claytons, good2go, right from nature, morning meal, mmmm
number of raisins: 5, 9, 5, 5, 7, 11
find the mean number of raisins.

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the number of raisins

We add up all the values: \(5 + 9 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 11\)
First, \(5+9 = 14\), then \(14 + 5 = 19\), \(19 + 5 = 24\), \(24 + 7 = 31\), \(31 + 11 = 42\)

Step2: Divide by the number of brands

There are 6 brands, so we divide the sum by 6: \(\frac{42}{6}\)
\(\frac{42}{6}=7\)

Answer:

7
