From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
17, 11, 21, 24, 22
Number of data (n) = 5
Mean weight =?
The mean of a set of data is the value obtained by adding all the data together and dividing the result obtained by the total number of data. Thus, the mean can be obtained as follow:
Summation of data = 17+ 11 + 21 + 24 + 22
= 95
Number of data = 5
Mean = Summation of data / Number of data
Mean = 95 / 5
Mean weight = 19 pounds
Therefore, the mean weight of the data is 19 pounds
