Mean Snow Days 3A8D2F
1. The problem states that the mean number of snow days for the five districts is 5.
2. The mean (average) is calculated by the formula:
$$\text{mean} = \frac{\text{sum of all values}}{\text{number of values}}$$
3. We know the mean is 5 and there are 5 districts, so:
$$5 = \frac{4 + 8 + 3 + 6 + x}{5}$$
where $x$ is the number of snow days in District 241.
4. Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the denominator:
$$5 \times 5 = 4 + 8 + 3 + 6 + x$$
$$25 = 21 + x$$
5. Subtract 21 from both sides to solve for $x$:
$$x = 25 - 21$$
$$x = 4$$
6. Therefore, the number of snow days in District 241 is 4.
