Given the following question:

Centeral tendecy also refers to the mean of a data set:

106, 100, 10, 20, 54, 165, 184, 200

In order to find the mean we have to add all the numbers together, and then divide that answer by the total amount of numbers in the set.


\begin{gathered} 106+100=206 \\ 206+10=216 \\ 216+20=236 \\ 236+54=290 \\ 290+165=455 \\ 455+184=639 \\ 639+200=839 \\ =839 \end{gathered}

Now we divide by the total amount of numbers in the set, which in this case they're eight numbers in this set:


\begin{gathered} 839/8=104.875 \\ m=104.875 \end{gathered}

The mean of this data set is "104.875."
