![**Question 1**
Find the mean for the given data:
| x | f |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 5 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 1 |
| 6 | 4 |
| 7 | 5 |
| 8 | 3 |
| 9 | 2 |
**Choices:**
- ○ 6.3
- ○ 5
- ○ 3.1
- ○ none of these answers
**Explanation:**
The table consists of two columns, `x` (the data values) and `f` (the frequencies of these values). To calculate the mean, use the formula:
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum (x \times f)}{\sum f}
\]
Calculate the sum of the products of `x` and `f`, and divide by the sum of the frequencies `f`. Compare the result with the given options to find the correct answer.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F299e6f79-faf6-440b-9603-5c3d9de5a70e%2Fdeb5a782-c82b-4531-881a-7e27c6793aa2%2F197a5dp_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
