Answer:
B) -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The average can be found by dividing the sum of the numbers by the total number of numbers.
[tex]mean = \frac{the \: sum}{n} [/tex]
[tex]mean = \frac{4 + ( - 4) + ( - 17) + 5}{4} [/tex]
[tex]mean = \frac{0 + ( - 12)}{4} [/tex]
[tex]mean = \frac{ - 12}{4} [/tex]
[tex]mean = - 3[/tex]
The mean is -3, so we can say the answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:
A ' middle' number looks like -3.
(4 + -4 - 17 + 5) / 4
= (-21 + 9) /4
= -12/4
= -3.
