Question

Find the mean of the following set of numbers:

8.9, 6.1, -4.8, 8.2, 2.7,-0.1
Enter the answer

Answer 1

The mean of the given set of numbers is 3.5

Explanation:

We need to find the mean of following numbers:

8.9, 6.1, -4.8, 8.2, 2.7,-0.1

For calculating the mean the formula used is:
`Mean=(Sum \ of \ all \ numbers)/(Total \ numbers)`

Finding sum of numbers:

`Sum \ of \ numbers= 8.9+6.1-4.8+8.2+2.7-0.1\\Sum \ of \ numbers= 21`

Total numbers = 6

So, mean is:

`Mean=(Sum \ of \ all \ numbers)/(Total \ numbers)\\Mean=(21)/(6)\\Mean= 3.5`

So, mean of the given set of numbers is 3.5
