Question

What is the mean of the data set 301,222,287,310,346

Answer 1

The (arithmetic) mean of a dataset is defined as the ratio between the sum of the elements in the dataset and the number of elements.

In this case, we have 5 element, so the mean is

`M = (301+222+287+310+346)/(5) = (1466)/(5) = 293.2`

Answer 2

the correct answer is 293.2
