Example Question #111 : Mean
Find the mean of the following numbers:
When we find them mean, we are finding the average of the number set.
The first step is to find the sum of all the numbers by adding them.
This gives us 280.
Then we divide this by the total amount of numbers in the number set, which is 8.
So
.
Example Question #112 : Mean
Find the mean of the following number set:
To find the mean, we are finding the average of the number set.
So we first add all of the numbers, which gives us 42.
Then we divide 42 by the amount of numbers in the number set which is 7, so
.
Example Question #113 : Mean
Find the mean of the following number set:
When we find the mean, we are finding the average of the number set, so we add all the numbers together which gives us 245.
Because there are 7 numbers we divide 245 by 7 and are left with the mean, 35.
Example Question #22 : Data Analysis And Probability
Find the mean in this set of numbers:
5570, 4886, 5226, 4120, 6561, 4120, 6008
First, add all the numbers in this set:
Then, divide that amount by the total number in the set:
Answer: The mean is 5213.
Example Question #364 : Data Analysis And Probability
Find the mean of the following data set:
To find the mean of a data set, we will use the following formula:
So, given the data set
we will first find the sum. To find the sum, we will add the numbers together. So,
Now, we will find the number of numbers within the set. To do this, we will simply count and see how many numbers are in the set. So,
Now, we will use this and substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the mean of the data set is .
Example Question #111 : Mean
While shopping for a couch, Mila found four she really liked. Each cost , , and . What is the average price of a couch Mila is considering?
