The mean is the average of the numbers
to found the mean of n articles we add the values of all the articles and divide it by the number of articles .
Here we are given Articles as pumpkins
The value of an article is it's weight
the number of Articles = number of pumpkins = 4
Let us start finding mean of the weight of the pumpkins
(8 + 11 + 23 + 15 ) divide by 4
( 57 ) divide by 4 = 14.25
To round to nearest tenth first we make it : 14.3 ( 5 was >=5 ) so we removed 5 and add 1 in 2
Now it is 14 ( because 3 is < 5 so we removed it without any change in the digit left to it )
Now it is 10 ( as 4 is also <5 so we remove it without any change inthe digit left to it )
Answer : 10
