Question

Number of data values: 1007

sum of the data values: 10998
Calculate the average (arithmetic mean) from the given number of data values and the sum of the data values. (rounded to the
nearest tenth)

Answer 1

The arithmetic mean is 10.9

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the arithmetic mean using the information given.

The arithmetic mean or otherwise called the average is the sum of all the values in a given set divided by the number of elements or count of the elements in that particular data set

Mathematically, the arithmetic mean can be found by dividing the sum of the data values by the number of data values.

In equation form, we have
`Arithmetic -mean = (sum of data values)/(number of data values)`

Inserting the values, we have Arithmetic mean = 10998/1007 = 10.92 which is 10.9 to the nearest tenth
