Respuesta :

Remember that we can get the mean of a dataset by adding up each datum and dividing such sum by the number of data.

Now, let's call the number of puppets Marco made M

This way, we would have that:

[tex]\frac{1+4+3+M}{4}=3[/tex]

Solving for M :

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1+4+3+M}{4}=3 \\ \\ \rightarrow\frac{8+M}{4}=3 \\ \\ \rightarrow8+M=12\rightarrow M=12-8 \\ \Rightarrow M=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, we can conclude that Marco made 4 puppets.
