Question

Find the Mean of the data set. 17, 9, 19, 18, 12

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{Formula \rightarrow \mathtt{(sum\ all\ of\ your\ numbers)/(total\ numbers\ you\ have\ in\ your\ data)= mean }}`

`\mathsf{Your\ equation\ should\ look\ like\ this\rightarrow\mathtt{\frac{17 + 9 + 19 + 18 + 12}5{} = mean}}}`

`\textsf{Now let us solve for it}`

`\mathtt{\frac{17 + 9 + 19 + 18 + 12}5= mean}}}`

`\mathtt{\frac{26 + 19 + 18 + 12}5 = mean}}}`

`\mathtt{\frac{45 + 18 + 12}5 = mean}}`

`\mathtt{\frac{63 + 12}5 = mean}}`

`\mathtt{\frac{75}5 = mean}}`

`\mathtt{15 = mean}`

`\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathtt{15}}\huge\checkmark`

Answer 2

• Mean : 15

Explanation:

To calculate the mean, add all the numbers together, then divide the sum of all values in a data set by the number of values.

Given :-

`\boxed{\bf 17, 9, 19, 18, 12}`

Add all the numbers:-

• 17 + 9 + 19 + 18 + 12
• = 75

Now, divide 75 by the number of values in the data, which is (5):-

• 75 ÷ 5
• = 15

Therefore, the mean is 15.
