Answer 1

Answer: c. 83.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set ={79, 42, 86, 103, 79, 111}

We know that the mean of a data set is given by :-

$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{sum of all elements in the data set }}{\text{number of all elements in the data set}}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{Mean}=\frac{79+42+86+103+79+111}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Mean}=\frac{500}{6}\\\Rightarrow\text{Mean}=83.3333\approx83.3$

Hence, the mean of the given data set = 83.3

Answer 2

The answer is C. 83.3
