Question

the school district compared how many swings each elementary school has. swings what is the mean of the numbers?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of swings for each school

• Newbury Elementary: 7
• Boyd Elementary: 2
• Roseville Elementary: 1
• Valley Elementary: 2
• Canyon Elementary: 7
• Jefferson Elementary: 7
• Lincoln Elementary: 4
• Shoreline Elementary: 2

Step2: Calculate the sum of the number of swings

Sum = \(7 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 4 + 2\)
First, add 7 + 2 = 9; 9 + 1 = 10; 10 + 2 = 12; 12 + 7 = 19; 19 + 7 = 26; 26 + 4 = 30; 30 + 2 = 32. So the sum is 32.

Step3: Calculate the mean (average)

Mean = \(\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}}\)
There are 8 schools, so Mean = \(\frac{32}{8}\)
\(\frac{32}{8}=4\)
