Question

Four students found the mean of the data set 26, 31, 39, 30, 16, 16, 18, 38. which student found the correct mean? ashrita’s work: startfraction 26 31 39 30 16 16 18 38 over 8 endfraction = startfraction 214 over 8 endfraction = 26.75 collette’s work: startfraction 26 38 over 2 endfraction = startfraction 64 over 2 endfraction = 32 daniel’s work: startfraction 26 31 39 30 18 38 over 7 endfraction = startfraction 198 over 7 endfraction = 28.29 lora’s work: startfraction 30 16 over 2 endfraction = startfraction 46 over 2 endfraction = 23

Answer 1

In calculating the mean of this data set  Ashrita did the best job.

The  Mean of the data set is the most commonly used measures of central tendency.

It means the average value of the data set.

one doesn't have to arrange the data in order  for finding it.

What is the meaning of mean?

The data set value  takes is to add them all together and divide that by the number of the data.

It can be written as

$,(x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + ..... + x_n) / n$

Where $x_1 , x_2 , x_3 , ..... ,x_n$are the values in the data set

Therefore we can conclude that Ashrita did the best job in calculating the mean of this data set.
