Answer 1

Given set of data :

• { 14,7,2,8,3 }

To find :

• Mean = ?

Solution :

`\qquad \sf \to \: mean = (sum \: of \: observations)/(total \: no. \: of \: observations)`

• Total number of observations = 5

`\qquad \tt\longmapsto\: mean = (14 + 7 + 2 + 8 + 3)/(5)`

`\qquad \tt\longmapsto\: mean = (34)/(5)`

`\qquad \tt\longmapsto\: mean = 6.8`
