Question

The number of patients treated at Dr. Frank's dentist office each day was recorded for seven days: 8, 14, 12, 17, 4, 6, 2. Using the given data, find the mean for this sample.

Answer 1

8, 14, 12, 17, 4, 6, 2

Mean = average = (8+ 14 + 12 + 17 + 4 + 6 + 2) / 63 = 63/7 = 9

Answer

Mean = 9

Answer 2

To find the mean,we have to sum up the data given and divide it by the number of data.

In this case,there are in total of 7 datas,therefore the equation would be :

$\frac{8 + 14 + 12 + 17 + 4 + 6 + 2}{7} \\ = \frac{63}{7} \\ = 9$
Thus,the answer is 9.

Hope it helps!
