  • A 3.5 kg
  • B 4.0 kg
  • C 4.2 kg
  • D 5.0 kg
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.
thus we have;
mean = 3.5 + 3.0 + 4.2 + 5.0 + 4.3 = 20 / 5 = 4
