Question

What is the mean of the following data set?

3.245, 3.678, 3.3, 2.499, 2.9, 3.206, 2.081

Answer 1

2.987

Explanation:

The mean is calculated by dividing the sum of the terms by the # of terms.

For this problem, add all of the terms together:

3.245 + 3.678 + 3.3 + 2.499 + 2.9 + 3.206 + 2.081 = 20.909

Now, divide the product by the number of terms there are. There are 7 terms.

20.909 ÷ 7 = 2.987
