Q. For a class science project, students worked in groups to make potato-powered batteries. Each of the 88 groups used a voltmeter to measure the voltage produced by their potatoes:\newline3.6volts,3.9volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.6volts,3.7volts,3.2volts3.6\,\text{volts}, 3.9\,\text{volts}, 3.6\,\text{volts}, 3.6\,\text{volts}, 3.6\,\text{volts}, 3.6\,\text{volts}, 3.7\,\text{volts}, 3.2\,\text{volts}\newlineWhat was the mean voltage?\newline_____volts\_\_\_\_\_\,\text{volts}
  1. List Voltage Readings: Step 11: 3.63.6 volts, 3.93.9 volts, 3.63.6 volts, 3.63.6 volts, 3.63.6 volts, 3.63.6 volts, 3.73.7 volts, 3.23.2 volts\newlineList all the voltage readings from the groups.
  2. Calculate Total Voltage: Step 22: Add all the voltage readings together to find the total voltage.\newline3.6+3.9+3.6+3.6+3.6+3.6+3.7+3.2=29.83.6 + 3.9 + 3.6 + 3.6 + 3.6 + 3.6 + 3.7 + 3.2 = 29.8 volts
  3. Find Mean Voltage: Step 33: Divide the total voltage by the number of groups to find the mean voltage.\newline29.829.8 volts ÷\div 88 = 3.7253.725 volts
