Given the set of of data:
x
8.3
25.3
13.4
23.9
12
9.3
12.3
1.4
We are to find the average (mean).
To find the means of a set of data, we first add up the data and divide by the total number of data.
The Formular for mean (m)
Mean (m) = sum of the terms
number of terms
number of terms = 8
Mean (m) = 8.3 + 25.3 + 13.4 + 23.9 + 12 + 9.3 + 12.3 + 1.4
8
Mean (m) = 105.9
8
Mean (m) = 13.2375
Mean (m) = 13.24 ( two decimal places).
