Find, correct to two decimal, the mean of 1\(\frac{1}{2}\), 2\(\frac{2}{3}\), 3\(\frac{3}{4}\), 4\(\frac{4}{5}\), and 5\(\frac{5}{6}\).
- A. 3.71
- B. 3.70
- C. 3.69
- D. 3.72
Correct Answer: A. 3.71
Explanation
The mean = sum of 1\(\frac{1}{2}\), 2\(\frac{2}{3}\), 3\(\frac{3}{4}\), 4\(\frac{4}{5}\), and 5\(\frac{5}{6}\) divided by their quantity.
Mean = ( 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) + 3\(\frac{3}{4}\) + 4\(\frac{4}{5}\) + and 5\(\frac{5}{6}\) ) / 5
= 3.708 or 3.71( 2 d.p )
