Question

A student measures the diameter of a small cylindrical object and gets the following readings: 4.32, 4.35, 4.31, 4.36, 4.37, 4.34 cm. What is the average diameter from these readings?

Answer 1

Answer:

The average of the diameter readings is 4.34 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We  are given the following data set(cm):

4.32, 4.35, 4.31, 4.36, 4.37, 4.34

Formula:

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{26.05}{6} = 4.34167 \approx 4.34$

Thus, the average of the diameter readings is 4.34 cm.
