Some students were asked how many pens they were carrying in their backpacks. The data is given in this frequency table. What is the mean number of pens carried by these students in their backpacks? A. 3
B. 3.5
C. 4
D. 4.5

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean: the sum of all numbers divided by the amount of numbers

In this case it will be the sum of all frequency divided by the amount of pens

Mean = 5 + 7 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 2 / 6

Mean = 25/6

Mean = 4.16

The mean is approximately 4

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
