Marcus bought pumpkins that weigh 8 lb, 11 lb, 23 lb, and 15 lb. what is the mean weight of his pumpkins? round to the nearest tenth if needed.

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

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?
