Answer:

\overline{x}=15

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is given by:

\overline{x} = \dfrac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i}{n} \quad\text{or}\quad \dfrac{\text{sum of all items}}{\text{number of items}}

In our case this is:

\overline{x} = \dfrac{19+15+6+11+24}{5} \Rightarrow \dfrac{75}{5}\\\\\overline{x} = 15\\\\

side note: the main difference between sample mean and population mean is in the 'context'. However, the method to calculate them is the same.

By context I mean: if this the items are taken from some larger category for example: the ages of a few 'students' from a 'class'. Here 'students' are the sample from a larger set that is 'class'. The mean of the 'few students' will be called sample mean. In contrast, if we take the mean of the ages of the whole class then this is called population mean. (population mean == mean of the whole set)

In our case we aren't told exactly where these numbers come from, is this the whole set or a sample from it, the lack of context allows us to assume that the mean can either be population mean or sample mean. So we can safely use any symbol \mu or \overline{x}.

Carolyn sees 442 people lined up at the theater to see a movie. The movie theater has 7 rows of seats. How many people sit in ea
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to write it down. Now, 1st step of the math, how many times will 7 go into 4? 0 times. So you have to do how many times 7 goes to 44. It goes in 6 times bc 7 times 7 is 49. Now, subtract 42 form 44 which is 2. Bring down the 2, you get 22. 7 goes into 22 3 times, subtract 21 from 22. One. So your answer is 63 remainder one!
