Explanation:

The formula to calculate the mean is


\bar{x}=(1)/(n)\sum_{i\mathop{=}1}^nx_i

where the symbol

represents a summation from the first value


x_1\rightarrow first\text{ value}

to the last value


x_n\rightarrow last\text{ value}

where n represents the number of elements in the data set.

In this case, the data set has 15 elements

That means that the value of n is 15:


n=15
