Question

For the numbers 4, 5, 5, 8, 10, 14, 18, 25, what is the left fence value?

a) -115
b) -77.5
c) 25
d) 325

Answer 1

The left fence value can be found by adding all the numbers in the set and dividing the sum by the number of elements in the set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The left fence value can be found by adding all the numbers in the given set and then dividing the sum by the number of elements in the set. In this case, the sum of the numbers 4, 5, 5, 8, 10, 14, 18, and 25 is 89. Since there are 8 numbers in the set, the left fence value is 89/8 = 11.125.

The answer choices provided (a) -115, (b) -77.5, (c) 25, (d) 325) do not match the correct calculation for the left fence value.
