Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
To find the mean of reported malaria cases in 2005 for the 10 countries listed in West Africa, we need to calculate the total number of reported cases and divide by 10 (the number of countries). The total number of reported cases is 2,044,774. Dividing by 10 gives us a mean of 204,477.4. The closest answer choice to this is D, which states that the mean is greater than 200,000. None of the other answer choices are close to the calculated mean.
