Answer 2

48

Explanation:

You are solving for the mean of the data set. To do so, add all the numbers together, and divide by the amount of numbers in the set.

Note that there are 4 numbers given to you: 38, 40 , 53, 61.

First, add the 4 numbers together:

38 + 40 + 53 + 61 = 192

Next, divide 4 from the total gotten:

192/4 = 48

48 is the mean of the data set.
