Ms. Sanchez's students were asked how many hours they spend participating in organized sports each week. Each row of the table represents one sample from the class.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
\multicolumn{5}{|c|}{ Number of Hours Playing Sports } \\
\hline
5 & 5 & 3 & 0 & 6 \\
\hline
2 & 2 & 4 & 5 & 2 \\
\hline
3 & 4 & 3 & 0 & 1 \\
\hline
4 & 0 & 4 & 3 & 6 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

What is the mean of the sample in the third row?

A. 2.2
B. 2.8
C. 3.0
D. 3.4



Answer :

To find the mean of the sample in the third row, follow these steps:

1. Identify the numbers in the third row. The third row of the table is:
[tex]\[3, 4, 3, 0, 1\][/tex]

2. Add all the numbers in the third row together:
[tex]\[ 3 + 4 + 3 + 0 + 1 = 11 \][/tex]

3. Count the number of values in the third row. There are 5 values.

4. Divide the sum of the numbers by the number of values to find the mean:
[tex]\[ \frac{11}{5} = 2.2 \][/tex]

Thus, the mean of the sample in the third row is:
[tex]\[2.2\][/tex]

So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[2.2\][/tex]
