Question 6 of 10What is the mean of the following data values?22, 37, 49, 15, 82OA. 41OB. 27O C. 31OD. 37

Answer 1

Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to take the mean value of a set of data values.

Given the set with the values

`22,37,49,15,82`

We want to determine its mean value.

Remember that the mean of a set of values

`x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n`

Is given by the sum

`\mu=(x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_n)/(n)`

In this case, notice we have 5 values, hence n = 5.

Plugging in the values, we'll get

`\mu=(22+37+49+15+82)/(5)`

Adding the values

`\mu=(205)/(5)`

Simplifying the fraction by a factor of 5, we'll get

`\mu=41`

Therefore this is the mean of this set of values and is the answer contained in the first option A).
