Question

Steve drove 1,344 miles in 24 hours. What was his mean driving speed?

Answer 1

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow Mean = {\text{Sum of observations} \over \text{Number of observations}} }\)

Answer 2

divide

Answer 3

@ParthKohli not in this case. here mean means "averages speed"

Answer 4

So, actually, you'll just have to divide to get the mean here.

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1344 \over 24} = 56 }\)

Answer 5

\(1344\div24\)

Answer 6

@satellite73 Lol, you took what I was saying :P

Answer 7

We actually know that it's the SUM OF ALL OBSERVATIONS.(The distance he's driven)
So, we can divide it by 24 as the speed is calculated in Miles Per Hour.
