Answer:

32004, is the mean.

Explanation:

To find the mean you need to add all of the numbers given. Doing so here would give you 256,032.

the next step is to count how many of numbers are given: 32002, 32003, 32006, etc... There are eight numbers here.

The final step is to take the number you previously aquired (256,032) and divide it by the number you most recently aquired (8).

Doing this will get you the mean, which is a grand total of 32,004.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions about this!

Answer:

32004

Explanation:

To find the mean of the data set we divide the sum of the terms with the number of terms.

32002 + 32003 + 32006 + 32003 + 32005 + 32005 + 32003 + 32005

The sum of the terms is 256032.

The number of terms is 8.

256032/8 = 32004

The mean or average of the data set is 32004.
