Question

What is the mean of this data set? A set of data showing the lengths of pencils in inches. The data includes the following values: 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 6, 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 4. three and one over two 4 four and one over twelve 5

Answer 1

To find the mean of the data set, we need to add up all the values and divide by the total number of values.

2 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 49

There are 12 values in the data set, so we divide the sum by 12:

49 / 12 = 4 and 1/12

Therefore, the mean of the data set is 4 and 1/12 inches.
