What is the mean distance that his students live from the school, rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

Answer: The mean distance that his students live from the school= 4.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Principal Phillipi used a random sample of 20 student records to determine how far, in miles, students live from the school.

We know that Mean=$\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$

The mean distance that his students live from the school

$=\frac{3+4+5+3+4+5+6+5+4+3+2+3+4+5+6+4+8+4+3+2}{20}$

$=\frac{83}{20}=4.15\approx4.2$

Therefore, The mean distance that his students live from the school= 4.2 miles
