A golfer competed in 16 golf tournaments. He finished 1st six times, 2nd four times, and one time each in 4th, 8th, 9th, 13th, 19th, and 33rd. Find the golfer's mean finishing position for the year. (Assume that finishing position is a discrete variable. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Mean finishing position for the year = (1*6 + 2*4 + 4 + 8 + 9 + 13 + 19 + 33) / 16 = 6.25 = 6th (ans)
