Question

a local farm has a small grove of 18 citrus trees producing fruit that is ripe and ready to be picked. the graph shows the frequency for the number of ripe fruits on each citrus tree. find the mean number of ripe fruits on the 18 trees, and round your answer to the nearest tenth. record your answer by dragging the purple point to the mean. provide your answer below:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total fruits for each group

For 22 fruits: \(22\times2 = 44\)
For 24 fruits: \(24\times2 = 48\)
For 25 fruits: \(25\times4 = 100\)
For 26 fruits: \(26\times6 = 156\)
For 27 fruits: \(27\times1 = 27\)
For 28 fruits: \(28\times3 = 84\)

Step2: Sum all total fruits

Total fruits \(= 44 + 48 + 100 + 156 + 27 + 84 = 459\)

Step3: Calculate mean

Mean \(=\frac{459}{18}=25.5\)

Answer:

25.5
