Question

Find the mean for the set of data.
0.2, 0.21, 0.17, 3.22, 0.2

Answer 1

0.8

Explanation:

Find the mean of the list:

(0.2, 0.21, 0.17, 3.22, 0.2)

The mean of a list of numbers is given by:

(sum of elements)/(number of elements)

(sum of elements) = 0.2 + 0.21 + 0.17 + 3.22 + 0.2:

(0.2 + 0.21 + 0.17 + 3.22 + 0.2)/(number of elements)

Counting, we see that the list has 5 elements:

(0.2 + 0.21 + 0.17 + 3.22 + 0.2)/5

0.2 + 0.21 + 0.17 + 3.22 + 0.2 = 4:

4/5

4/5 = 0.8:

Answer: 0.8

Answer 2

0.8

Explanation:

The mean of the data set can be found by adding all terms together and dividing by the amount of terms there is. In this case, add all the numbers and divide by 5:

(0.2 + 0.21 + 0.17 + 3.22 + 0.2)/5 =

(4)/5 = 0.8

0.8 is the mean for the given set.
