Solution

To calculate the mean of a sample, you need to add up all the numbers and then divide by the count of the numbers.

Here are the steps:

  1. Add up all the numbers: 0.9 + 7.2 + 8.6 + 6.6 + 1.7 + 4.2 = 29.2
  2. Count the numbers. In this case, there are 6 numbers.
  3. Divide the sum by the count: 29.2 ÷ 6 = 4.866666666666667

Rounding to 2 significant figures, the mean of this sample is 4.87.
