Solution

To calculate the mean number of children per household, you need to multiply the number of households by the number of children per household for each category, add these products together, and then divide by the total number of households.

Here's how you do it:

  1. Multiply the number of households by the number of children per household for each category:

    For 4 children: 3 households * 4 children = 12 children For 2 children: 13 households * 2 children = 26 children For 3 children: 13 households * 3 children = 39 children

  2. Add these products together to get the total number of children:

    12 children + 26 children + 39 children = 77 children

  3. Divide the total number of children by the total number of households to get the mean number of children per household:

    77 children / 29 households = 2.655172413793103

  4. Round this number to the nearest tenth:

    The mean number of children per household is approximately 2.7.
