1 answer:

6 0

Lets find out...

-5 - (-2) = -5 + 2 = -3....-3 is greater then -5
-1 - (-3) = -1 + 3 = 2.....2 is greater then -1
-4 - (-2) = -4 + 2 = -2...-2 is greater then -4

so it looks like it is going to be greater then the number u started with.

Answer:

The mean number of the children is 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Children: 0, 1, 2, 1, 2

Required

Determine the Mean number

The mean of a set is calculated as follows;

$Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

Where x is the given set and n is the number of sets

In this case, n = 5 children

Hence;

$Mean = \frac{0 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2}{5}$

$Mean = \frac{6}{5}$

$Mean = 1.2$

Hence, the mean number of the children is 1.2
