    3.6669

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given is a frequency distribution and we are expected to find the mean of the distribution.

    Let X be the no of total pets owned and f be the number of adults owning those pets.

    Total

    x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

    F 248 567 1402 728 419 456 203 4023

    x*f 248 1134 4206 2912 2095 2736 1421 14752

    Mean 3.666915237

    Thus we find the total of all frequencies and then sum of product of x*f.

    Mean = sum of f*x/sum of x

    Here mean = 3.6669
