A study is run to estimate the mean total cholesterol level in children 2 to 6 years of age. A sample of 9 participants is selected and their total cholesterol levels are measured as follows. 180 220 240 196 175 183 195 140 200 What is the sample mean? A) 196B) 200C) 192.11D) 180

C) 192.11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean of any group of numbers, you simply add up all the numbers and then divide by how many numbers there are.

Using a calculator or a pencil, add the following:

180 + 220 + 240 + 196 + 175 + 183 + 195 + 140 + 200

= 1,729

The last step is to divide 1,729 by 9:

1,729 : 9 = 192.11
