Question

Compute the mean of the following population values: 2, 4, 2, 2, 6. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Answer 1

To compute the mean of the population values 2, 4, 2, 2, 6, you calculate the sum of the numbers (16) and divide by the number of values (5) to get a mean of 3.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked to compute the mean of the following population values: 2, 4, 2, 2, 6 and round the answer to 1 decimal place.

To find the mean (average), you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. In this case, we have:

1. Add the numbers: 2 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 16
2. Count the numbers: There are 5 numbers.
3. Divide the sum by the count: 16 / 5 = 3.2

So, the mean of these population values is 3.2.
