Question

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

96 100 100 95 93 98 97 97 98 96

Answer 1

The mean of the given numbers is 97.

Explanation:

To find the mean, we add up all the numbers and divide the sum by the total count of numbers.

96 + 100 + 100 + 95 + 93 + 98 + 97 + 97 + 98 + 96 = 970

There are 10 numbers

Dividing the sum by the count (10)

970 / 10 = 97

Answer 2

The mean is the average of a set of numbers. To find the mean of these numbers, we add them up and divide by the total number of numbers:

`\begin{aligned}\text{Mean}& = (96+100+100+95+93+98+97+97+98+96)/(10)\\& = (970)/(10)\\& = 97\end{aligned}`

`\therefore` The mean is 97.
