Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

The mean of the data set is 6


Explanation: to find the mean (average) of a data set you add up all of the numbers and then divide by how many are present.

7+9+5+4+3+6+8=42

Since there are 7 numbers present we divide our answer by 7.

42/7 = 6

So the mean of the data set is 6
