Question

here is the histogram of a data distribution. which of the following numbers is closest to the mean of this distribution

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean=$\frac{Sum of observations}{Number of observations}$

here, observations are

1×1=1

2×2=2

3×3=9

4×1=4

5×1=5

6×2=12

7×3=21

8×1=8

9×1=9

10×0=0

hence, sum of observations =1+4+9+4+5+12+21+8+9+0=73

Number of observations are=1+2+3+1+1+2+3+1+1+0=15

Mean=$\frac{73}{15}$

Mean=4.8..

nearest to 5 .

Hence, option (D) is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

1+2+2+3+3+3+4+5+6+6+7+7+7+8+9=73

73/15≈5
