Question

Which of the following values is closest to the mean for the set of datashown below?

Answer 1

Given: The set of data shown

To Determine: The value that is closest to the mean for the set of data

Solution

The mean of a set of data is

`Mean=(1)/(n)\sum_{i\mathop{=}1}^nxi`

Apply the formula to find the mean

`Mean=(12+16+22+23+34+44+46+47+48+64+67+73+83+88+89)/(15)`
`Mean=50.4`
