Find the average length of the fish in the tank: 2,3,1,4,5,2,22, 3, 1, 4, 5, 2, 2. Round the mean to the nearest tenth.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The lengths of the fish are given in inches and are,3,1,4,5,,. The mean is calculated by adding all the values and dividing by the count of values3. The mean needs to be rounded to the nearest tenth

STEP 2

First, we need to add all the lengths of the fish together. This can be done using the formulaSum=x1+x2+x+...+xnSum = x1 + x2 + x + ... + x_n

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the lengths of the fish to calculate the sum.
Sum=2+3+1++5+2+2Sum =2 +3 +1 + +5 +2 +2

STEP 4

Calculate the sum of the lengths.
Sum=2+3+1+4++2+2=19Sum =2 +3 +1 +4 + +2 +2 =19

STEP 5

Now that we have the sum of the lengths, we can find the mean by dividing this sum by the number of lengths (7).
Mean=Sum/NumberoflengthsMean = Sum / Number\, of\, lengths

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the sum and the number of lengths to calculate the mean.
Mean=19/Mean =19 /

STEP 7

Calculate the mean.
Mean=19/72.714285714285714Mean =19 /7 \approx2.714285714285714

STEP 8

Now that we have the mean, we need to round this to the nearest tenth.RoundedMean=2.7Rounded\, Mean =2.7The mean length of the fish in the tank, rounded to the nearest tenth, is2.7 inches.
