Find the average from a set of data shown below 12 21 17 10

Solution

To find the average of the data set 12,21,17,1012, 21, 17, 10, follow these steps:

  1. Sum the values:
    12+21+17+10=6012 + 21 + 17 + 10 = 60

  2. Count the values:
    There are 44 values in the set.

  3. Calculate the average:
    Average=SumCount=604=15\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum}}{\text{Count}} = \frac{60}{4} = 15

The average of the data set is 15.
