Explanation:

Step1: Select cells C2:C15

First, we need to select the range of cells C2:C15 in the Excel spreadsheet. This is the range where we will apply the conditional formatting.

Step2: Go to Conditional Formatting

In the Excel ribbon, navigate to the "Home" tab. Then, find the "Conditional Formatting" option in the "Styles" group. Click on it to open the conditional formatting menu.

Step3: Create a New Rule

From the conditional formatting menu, select "New Rule". This will open the "New Formatting Rule" dialog box.

Step4: Choose Rule Type

In the "New Formatting Rule" dialog box, select the rule type "Format only cells that contain". Then, under "Format only cells with", set the condition to "Cell Value" "less than or equal to" the average of the selected range. To get the average, we can use the formula =AVERAGE(C2:C15) (we will input this in the appropriate field in the dialog box).

Step5: Set Formatting to Bold

After setting the condition, click on the "Format" button. In the "Format Cells" dialog box, go to the "Font" tab and check the "Bold" option. Then click "OK" to apply the formatting settings.

Step6: Apply the Rule

Back in the "New Formatting Rule" dialog box, click "OK" to apply the conditional formatting rule to the selected range C2:C15.

Answer:

The conditional formatting rule is created and applied to cells C2:C15 to make cells with values less than or equal to the average of the range bold. The average of the selected range (C2:C15) can be calculated as follows: First, sum the values in C2:C15: 247 + 123 + 216 + 283 + 125 + 258 + (assuming the other cells in C2:C15 have the same pattern as shown, we can sum them up). Let's calculate the sum of the visible values: 247 + 123 = 370; 370 + 216 = 586; 586 + 283 = 869; 869 + 125 = 994; 994 + 258 = 1252. If we assume there are 6 visible values (as shown in the screenshot), but the range is C2:C15 which has more cells, we can use the AVERAGE function in Excel. The AVERAGE function will automatically calculate the average of all the values in the range C2:C15. After applying the conditional formatting, the cells with values less than or equal to this average will be bold.
