Question

Find the mean of the integers

Answer 1

We need to find mean of given integers.

We have -16,39,-10,-16,12,31.

In order to find mean, we need to add all the given inetgers.

Therefore, putting plus sign in between integers.

-16+ 39+ (-10)+(-16)+12+31 .

We will add all positive number 39+12+31 = 82

We will add all negative numbers by negative numbers, -16-10-16 = -42.

Therefore,  -16+ 39+ (-10)+(-16)+12+31  = 82 - 42 = 40.

We have given total 6 integers.

So, in order to find the mean, we need to apply following formula

Mean = $\frac{Sum \ of \ all \ number }{Total \ numbers}$

We get,

Mean = 40/6 = 6.66666......

We can round it to 6.67.

Therefore, mean of the given integers = 6.67 (approximately) .
