The problem provides a table showing the number of basketball hoops at each of several parks. The task is to calculate the mean (average) number of basketball hoops across all parks.

1. Problem Description

The problem provides a table showing the number of basketball hoops at each of several parks. The task is to calculate the mean (average) number of basketball hoops across all parks.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to determine the number of basketball hoops at each park based on the tally marks.

Otter Park: 7 hoops

Westfield Park: 7 hoops

Heron Park: 2 hoops

Riverfront Park: 10 hoops

Pinehurst Park: 4 hoops

Mooreland Park: 1 hoop

Crestview Park: 8 hoops

Kelly Park: 1 hoop

Next, we need to calculate the sum of the number of hoops across all parks:

$7 + 7 + 2 + 10 + 4 + 1 + 8 + 1 = 40$

Then, we need to count the number of parks, which is

8.

To find the mean, we divide the sum of the number of hoops by the number of parks:

$Mean = \frac{Sum}{Number\, of\, parks}$

$Mean = \frac{40}{8} = 5$

3. Final Answer

The mean number of basketball hoops is 5.
