Question

he actual weights of 10 sample “1 lb packages” of meat are found to be: sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 weight 1.01 1.03 0.98 0.99 1.01 1.02 0.98 1.05 0.97 0.98 What is the mean of the actual weights?

Answer 1

1.01 + 1.03 + 0.98 + 0.99 + 1.01 + 1.02 + 0.98 + 1.05 + 0.97 + 0.98 = 10.02

10.02 / 10= 1.002

Answer: 1.002

Answer 2

To do this problem, add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers:

1.01+1.03+.98+.99+1.01+1.02+.98+1.05+.97+.98
10.02

Now divide by 10 (the amount of samples)

10.02/10
1.002

The Mean of the Data Set is 1.002

Hope this helps!
