Question

4. What is the mean of the following data? (Show your work){5, 6, 8, 4, 5, 7, 4, 3, 2, 6)

Answer 1

The mean of the data values is their average.

To obtain the average, find the sum of the data values and then divide the sum by total number of data.

In the given, we have 10 data values. Thus, the mean is as follows.

`\begin{gathered} \overline{x}=(5+6+8+4+5+7+4+3+2+6)/(10) \\ =(50)/(10) \\ =5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the mean is 5.
