Question

The times to run a mile are 7,
9, 10, 11, 11, and 12.
What is the mean?

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

When you think of the mean of a data set, think of the word average. 'Mean' and 'average' are the same thing when you're talking about a set of data.

To find the mean, you have to divide the sum of all values in your data set, by the number of values.

7 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 11 + 12 = 60

60/6 = 10

Therefore, the mean of this data set would be 10.
