Question

Mister Parts recorded the number of absent students at Brighton Middle School last week what was the mean number of absent students per day round your answers to the nearest tenth if necessary Monday 11 Tuesday 9 Wednesday 6 Thursday 9 Friday 9

Answer 1

A. 8.8 students per day on average were absent.

1) If the absence recorded was:

On Monday: 11

On Tuesday: 9

On Wed: 6

On Thu: 9

On Fri: 9

2) Since the number of weekdays were 5 we can calculate the mean of absent students by adding all those absences and dividing by 5

So, 11+9+6+9+9+9 =44

Dividing by 5

So the mean or the average of the absence was 8.8
