Math Problem Statement

The following refer to the following data set: 116 122.8 101.4 133.9 133.9 91.2 119.2 133.9 113.8 104.5

What is the arithmetic mean of this data set?

mean =

Solution

To find the arithmetic mean of the given data set, follow these steps:

  1. Sum all the values in the data set.
  2. Divide the sum by the total number of values.

Given data set: 116,122.8,101.4,133.9,133.9,91.2,119.2,133.9,113.8,104.5116, 122.8, 101.4, 133.9, 133.9, 91.2, 119.2, 133.9, 113.8, 104.5

Step 1: Calculate the sum of all values. 116+122.8+101.4+133.9+133.9+91.2+119.2+133.9+113.8+104.5116 + 122.8 + 101.4 + 133.9 + 133.9 + 91.2 + 119.2 + 133.9 + 113.8 + 104.5

=116+122.8+101.4+133.9+133.9+91.2+119.2+133.9+113.8+104.5= 116 + 122.8 + 101.4 + 133.9 + 133.9 + 91.2 + 119.2 + 133.9 + 113.8 + 104.5

=1170.6= 1170.6

Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of values (which is 10). Mean=1170.610=117.06\text{Mean} = \frac{1170.6}{10} = 117.06

So, the arithmetic mean of the data set is: Mean=117.06\text{Mean} = 117.06
