Example Questions
Example Question #41 : Mean
Find the mean of the following data set:
Find the mean of the following data set:
To find the mean, we simply need to sum our terms and divide by the number of terms. Our total number of terms is 11:
So our mean is 325
Example Question #42 : Mean
Find the mean of this data set:
Find the mean of this data set:
To begin, let's put our numbers in increasing order:
Next, find the sum of our terms, and divide that by the number of terms.
So our answer is 244
Example Question #137 : Data Properties
Find the mean of the following data set:
Find the mean of the following data set:
Let's begin by putting our data in increasing order:
The mean of our data set will be the same as the average. Find the sum of the terms, then divide by the number of terms (15 in this case)
So our answer is 123.
Example Question #161 : Basic Statistics
Sandra has 5 book cases. The four of the cases have 15, 17, 12, and 15 books respectively. How many books does the fifth case have in it if the mean and median number of books in each case is the same.
The median must be 15. 15 is the middle number weather the 5th number if less than 12 or more than 15. If the median is 15 the mean must also be 15.
Once we know that we use the equation of the mean to solve the problem.
Now solve for x
Multiply by 5 on both sides
Subtract 59 on both sides
Example Question #42 : Mean
The points per game of 10 basketball players as as follows: 12, 8, 10, 30, 14, 2, 6, 11, 10, 0. What is the mean of the total points among the ten players? (Round to the nearest whole number).
To find the mean of these numbers you must add them all up and divide by the total number of players.
You get:
which rounds to 
Example Question #164 : Basic Statistics
During a class project two students record how much time they spend outdoors (in minutes) after school for a week. The data collected is below.
Student A: 65, 60, 76, 44, 90
Student B: 70, 63, 74, 60, 102
Which of the following is true about the data above?
None of the other answers are correct.
The mean and range of student A greater than the mean and range from student B
The mean and range of student A equal to the mean and range from student B
The mean of student A is greater than the mean of student B
The range of student A is greater than the range of student B
The range of student A is greater than the range of student B
The mean of student A is
The range of studnet A is
The mean of student B is
The range of studnet B is
The range of student A is more the the range of student B.
Example Question #43 : Mean
A school district has determined that the most vaulable way to evaluate success is by using the mean of all the test scores as the basis. With this in mind, find the mean scores of 77, 80, 35, 76, 99, 95, 86, 65, 72, 56, and 21?
Here you need to add up all the numbers and then divide by the total number of numbers present.
So:
Example Question #171 : Basic Statistics
What is the mean of the function 
To find the mean, first we need to solve the function for each of the variables given:
Then we add the numbers up and divide by how many numbers there were:
Example Question #172 : Basic Statistics
Judges in a diving competition give a diver scores of 
To find the mean, first we're going to add all the scores:
Next, we divide that by the number of scores we had:
Example Question #44 : Mean
In the data set 
In order to find the mean, we would first add all the numbers up and divide by how many numbers we have. Though we don't yet know the value for 
From here we can clear the denominator by multiplying each side by
