It would be mean.The mean is the average which is what she is looking for , since she wants a summerization of all the values in the data set.To find the mean (average) add all the numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers.

Answer:

Option 1 - Mean

Explanation:

Given : Georgia’s scores in six subjects are 89, 75, 92, 68, 78, 75, and 80. If she finds a single value that summarizes all the values in the data set.

To find : Which measure could she be finding?

Solution :

Mean is defined as the average value of the data set.

Range is defined as the difference between the greatest and the lowest value in a data set.

Mode is defined as the number of times a number repeats in a data set.

There is no use of mode as scores doesn't repeat.

There is no use of range as it's the difference between your best and worst score.

The best we apply is mean as it gives the average value of the data set.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.
