Q. Jose tracks how many times he got fast food each month. He got fast food 1212 times in January, 1010 times in February, 1818 times in March, 44 times in April, and 22 times in May.\newlineFind the mean number of times Jose got fast food.\newlinetimes getting fast food
  1. Calculate Total Fast Food: Identify the total number of times Jose got fast food over the given months.\newlineCalculation: 1212 (January) + 1010 (February) + 1818 (March) + 44 (April) + 22 (May) = 4646 times.
  2. Count Months: Count the number of months to find out over how many months we are calculating the mean.\newlineCalculation: January, February, March, April, May = 55 months.
  3. Calculate Mean: Calculate the mean number of times Jose got fast food by dividing the total number of times by the number of months.\newlineCalculation: Mean = Total number of timesNumber of months=465=9.2\frac{\text{Total number of times}}{\text{Number of months}} = \frac{46}{5} = 9.2 times.
