Given:
The total number of tamiliies is N = 30.
The objective is to find the mean number of gallons of milk consumed by 30 families.
Explanation:
The total number of milk consumed consumed by 30 families can be calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} T=(8\times3)+(9\times2)+(13\times5) \\ =24+18+65 \\ =107 \end{gathered}[/tex]
To find mean:
The mean number of gallons of milk can be calculated as,
[tex]M=\frac{T}{N}[/tex]
On plugging the obtained values in the above equation,
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=\frac{107}{30} \\ =3.56666\ldots\text{.} \\ =3.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the mean number of milk consumed by 30 families is 3.6 gallons.
