Question

What is the mean? If the answer is a decimal, round it to the nearest tenth.

-12 -12 -9 -11 -13

Answer 1

-11.4

Explanation:

To find the mean:

1. Add all the numbers up: -12+-12+-9+-11+-13 = -57

2. Divide the added numbers by the amount of numbers you added together (which would be 5): -57/5 = -11.4

3. After dividing you have your answer. Next step would be to round, that is not needed for this problem.

Hope this helps!
