We are given a set of dataLet's break down the problem from the image you uploaded:
We are given a set of 6, 10, 11, 15, 23.
Part (a): Calculate the mean:
The mean (average) is found by adding up all the values and dividing by the number of values.
-
Add the values:
-
Divide by the number of data points (which is 5):
So, the mean is 13.
Would you like help with parts (b) and (c)? Also, here are some related questions that might expand your understanding:
- What happens to the mean if one of the data points increases?
- How is the mean different from the median?
- How would you calculate the weighted mean for a similar data set?
- What does it mean if a set of data has multiple modes?
- How does the range of a data set relate to the mean?
Tip: Always double-check that the total count of data points is accurate when calculating the mean, especially when working with larger data sets.
