Let's see which of these best measures the data.
The mean is the average, or the sum of all numbers divided by the total numbers there are.
4.8 + 3 + 2.7 + 4.4 + 4.8 + 9.9 = 29.6
There are 6 numbers total.
29.6/6 = 4.93.
The mean is 4.93.
Let's try our median. The median is the middle number of a sequence listed from least to greatest. I will make the list for you.
2.7, 3, 4.4, 4.8, 4.8, 9.9.
Cross out the smallest number with the greatest number.
3, 4.4, 4.8, 4.8.
4.4, 4.8.
Since we do not have a middle number, we must see what number is in the middle of 4.4, and 4.8. To determine this, we must average. Add 4.4 and 4.8, then divide by 2.
9.2/2 = 4.6.
4.6 is our median.
The mode is the number that appears the most, so let's find the number that is the most frequent.
4.8 is our mode.
The best number that will fit in this to make it work out is 4.6.
The median is your answer, B.)

2(3)-9(2)-11x+8=0
(2)(3)-(9)(2)-11x+8=0
6+-18+-11x+8=0
(-11x)+(6+-18+8)=0 Combine Like Terms.
-11x+-4=0
-11x-4=0
Add 4 to both sides.
-11x-4+4=0+4
-11x=4
Divide both sides by -11.
-11x/-11=4/-11
x=-4/11
Hope this helps!
Your initial instinct would be to solve this problem with this solution. 34 x 57 = 1,938 petals.
However, the word estimate is present; therefore, we have to consider that we need to get the approximate number and not the exact number of petals.
There is a general rule regarding estimation or approximation. You have to round it to the nearest place you have based on. In this problem we round it off to the nearest tens place.
If the number is below 5, you round it down: 34 is rounded down to 30 petals.
If the number is above 5, you round it up: 57 is rounded up to 60 sunflowers.
Thus, your equation would be : 30 x 60 = 1,800 petals (best estimate)
