Answer:
Neighborhood Q appears to have a bigger family size
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = the sum of all data values divided by the total number of data values
Number of families in Neighborhood Q = 9
Mean family size of Neighborhood Q:
= (2 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 6 + 5) ÷ 9
= 35 ÷ 9
= 3.888888...
Number of families in Neighborhood S = 9
Mean family size of Neighborhood S:
= (2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 7 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2) ÷ 9
= 27 ÷ 9
= 3
The mean family size of Neighborhood Q is 3.88.. and the mean family size of Neighborhood S is 3. Therefore, Neighborhood Q appears to have a bigger family size as it's average family size is bigger than that of Neighborhood S.
