Question

What is the mean for the data set? 8 10 6 4 12 6 8 14

Answer 1

Answer:

$8\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First add up all the numbers:

8+10+6+4+12+6+8+14=68

Now you have to divide the sum by the amount of numbers. There are 8 numbers.

$\frac{68}{8}=\frac{34}{4}=\frac{17}{2}$

$\frac{17}{2}=8\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find mean, we simply take the average of all the numbers in the data set, and divide in by the amount of values!

$8+10+6+4+12+6+8+14= 68$

68 ÷ 8 = 8.5!
