Answer

$\overline{x}\approx 4.74$

Work Step by Step

To solve for the mean of the given frequency distribution, perform the following steps: (1) Multiply the score and the corresponding frequency. (Refer to the $fx$ column in the attached image below.) (2) Add the products in step (1) to obtain $218$. (3) Add the frequencies to obtain $46$. (4) Divide the result in step (2) by the result in step (3) to obtain: $\overline{x} = \dfrac{218}{46}=4.739130435 \approx 4.74$
