Question

This data set represents the widths in yards of pieces of fabric used by a sewing group. What is the mean of this data set? {113, 14, 23, 12, 114}

Answer 1

Mean = 55.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data set: 113, 14, 23, 12, 114

To find the mean of a data set, divide the sum of all data values by the total number of data values:

`\large \begin{aligned}\sf Mean & = \sf(sum\:of\:all\:data\:values)/(total\:number\:of\:data\:values) \\\\\implies \sf Mean & = \sf (113 + 14 + 23 + 12 + 114)/(5)\\\\& = \sf (276)/(5)\\\\& = \sf 55.2\end{aligned}`

Answer 2

55.2 is the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data set: {113, 14, 23, 12, 114}

Mean = sum of the terms/number of terms

Mean = (113 + 14 + 23 + 12 + 114)/5

= (276)/5

= 55.2
