Question

Here is another easy question to answer: What is the mean of the data sets {41,19,29,12,49,30}, {28,22,10,30,15}, {49,24,18,53,38}?

Answer 1

Data set A {41,19,29,12,49,30} = 30

Data set B {28,22,10,30,15} = 21

Data set C{49,24,18,53,38} = 36.4

Explanation:

Data set A {41,19,29,12,49,30} =

Mean = Sum of terms/ number of terms

Number of term = 6

Mean = 41 + 19 + 29 + 12 + 49 + 30/ 6

= 180/6 = 30

Data set B {28,22,10,30,15} =

Mean = Sum of terms/ number of terms

Number of term = 5

Mean = 28 + 22 + 10 + 30 + 15/ 5

= 105/5 = 21

Data set C{49,24,18,53,38} =

Mean = Sum of terms/ number of terms

Number of term = 5

Mean =49 + 24 + 18 + 53 + 38/ 5

= 182/5 = 36.4
