Question

What is the mean of the values in the dot plot? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

The mean is 46.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean of these points add the values together. So that's one 40, two 41's, one 45, two 48's, three 49's and one 50.

40 + (2 * 41) + 45 + (2 * 48) + (3 * 49) + 50

Multiply what's in the parentheses.

40 + 82 + 45 + 96 + 147 + 50

Add, going from left to right

122 + 45 + 96 + 147 + 50

167 + 96 + 147 + 50

263 + 147 + 50

410 + 50

460

Now, divide that by how many dots there were (10).

460/10

The mean of the values in this dot plot is 46.
