The mean is:
Example Question #84 : Calculations
Find the mean of the following data set:
Find the mean of the following data set:
Now, to find the mean we need to find the average.
Find the average via the following formula:
What this means is that we will sum all our terms in the numerator, and then divide by the total number of terms (n).
We have 11 terms, so n=11
Let's sum our terms:
Next, divide by 11
So, we can say our answer is 42.
Example Question #85 : Calculations
Find the mean of the following data set:
Find the mean of the following data set:
To find the mean of a series of numbers, simply find the average.
This means that we will sum up our terms, and then divide by the total number of terms in our series.
In this case, we have 11 terms, so we get the following:
So, our mean is 144
Example Question #86 : Calculations
Find the mean of the following data set:
Find the mean of the following data set:
To find the mean, sum up your terms and divide by the number of terms.
We have 11 terms, so that will be our numerator.
Example Question #87 : Calculations
The sales of a construction supply company are shown for the first six months of a year:
In thousands, what is the mean dollar amount of sales for these six months?
Recall how to find the mean:
Start by finding the sum of all the values given:
Since we have six months, the number of values is 
Now, find the mean:
Example Question #88 : Calculations
The following chart shows the pounds of strawberries harvested over the span of a week on a farm:
What is the difference between the median and the mean of the weights?
To find the median, start by placing the values in numerical order:
The middle term, or the median, of this set is 
Next, recall how to find the mean of a set of values:
Thus, the mean for this set of values is
The difference between the median and the mean is then
Example Question #89 : Calculations
The following chart shows the pounds of strawberries harvested over the span of a week on a farm:
How many pounds of strawberries must be harvested on the eighth day for the average pounds of strawberries harvested each day to increase to 
Recall how to find the mean:
The question gives us the mean and the number of values. Let
