The mean of the data set is 6.8.
<h3>What is the mean?</h3>Mean is the average value of the given set of observations. In statistics, we also come across different types of mean such as Arithmetic, Geometric and Harmonic mean.
Given
The data set is 14, 7, 2, 8, 3.
The mean of the data set is given by;
Hence, the mean of the data set is 6.8.

Explanation:
Check out the image below. I've posted the synthetic division table. The value at the very end of the bottom row is the remainder. By the remainder theorem, this is exactly the value of g(-5).
Recall the remainder theorem says: If you divide p(x) by (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). In this case, k = -5 is our test root which is the value placed in the box on the left.
As a way to check the answer, we can say
g(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 5
g(-5) = 2(-5)^2 + 6(-5) + 5
g(-5) = 25
So the answer is confirmed.
