The "mean" is just the normal arithmetic average that you are most likely already familiar with.
mean=(sum of elements)/(number of elements)
In this case:
mean=(2+28+2+20+22)/5
mean=74/5
mean=14.8
So the mean or average age of the trees is 14.8 years.
See the step-by-step solution below.
12 1/2 because you do 5/6 x 15/1 which 6/3 equals 2 and 15/3 equals 5 so you do 5/2 x 5/1
