Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean of a set of numbers, you add up all the numbers and then divide by the total count of numbers.
Let's calculate the mean of the given set:
\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{2 + 20 + 23 + 218 + 30}{5} = \frac{293}{5} = 58.6 \]
The means of the proportion are **B. 2 and 30**, as these are the numbers closest to the calculated mean, 58.6.
