Answer
Explanation
Given:
8, 40, 50, 85, 1, 5, 46, 65, 41, 13, 34, 67, 53, 71, 44
To determine the mean for the given list of numbers, we note first that the mean is the same as the average value in a data set. We add up all the data values to get the sum and divide the sum by the count of the number of values.
We can use the formula:
Mean = Sum of the terms/Number of terms
where:
Sum of the terms = 8+40+50+85+1+5+46+65+41+13+34+67+53+71+44=623
Number of terms = 15
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Mean=\frac{623}{15} \\ Calculate \\ Mean=41.533 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the mean is 41.533.
