Question

Consider the following set of data: 72, 53, 64, 99, 84, 73, 99, 100, 85, 91, 93, 74

Identify the mean.
99
84.5
82.25
47

Answer 1

@ganeshie8

Answer 2

So the mean is all of the numbers added up, divided by the amount of numbers.
72+53+64+99+84... You get my point. Then divide the sum by the amount of numbers, 12.

Answer 3

Understand what to do?

Answer 4

82.25

Answer 5

mean =sum of data / number of data =987/12=82.25

Answer 6

I now how to do it I just don't feel like doing it

Answer 7

the answer will be 82.25

Answer 8

@Hanishala - First of all, Welcome to OpenStudy. I see that when Michael, was already trying to help @ikatouni , then you came up with a direct answer and some short explanations. That's not your fault, as you are new to OpenStudy and you may not know the aim/rules/regulations of OpenStudy.

I want you to have a look at these links :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDiiH8PItto&feature=youtu.be - Guide to OpenStudy

http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct/ - OpenStudy Code of Conduct

OpenStudy aims on *helping* the users out with their concepts through well-carried discussions. I hope that you will cooperate with us, and will remember it next time. :)

Also, @ikatouni - "I know how to do it I just don't feel like doing it"

That is generally not expected from an asker. If you already know, how to do it, then why to post it here? May be, the time Michael spent here to help you, would have been used in helping a needy user.

Answer 9

thanks @mathslover

Answer 10

:) Good Luck with your journey on OpenStudy. Let me know if you need any kind of help while working on OpenStudy.

Answer 11

Answer 12

:)

Answer 13

@mathslover I didn't ask u

Answer 14

ikatouni,

Be nice to others and, yeah, you didn't ask me. But, being the part of OpenStudy, I do have right to suggest you. Sorry, if in *any* way, I offended you or I was rude with you.

Answer 15

@mathslover I now how to do it but people forget stuff and usually wen someone posts something that means they are running out of time and don't have the time to wait for people to rite a 2 page explanation

Answer 16

@ikatouni yes you are right

Answer 17

So, basically @ikatouni - you wanted only answer for this question?

Answer 18

not only the answer but a short explanation like @Hanishala did @mathslover

Answer 19

i gave her the answer and a short explanation

Answer 20

u mean him im a guy

Answer 21

Okay, then you could have asked nicely to Michael, to just give a hint or a short explanation.

Answer 22

I never said nothing to miheal micheal actually gave me a nice explanation

Answer 23

no harm no foul @Hanishala

Answer 24

ikatouni, I understand that you didn't require any long explanation or discussion, but, it actually feels bad for a user who is trying to help the asker, and someone just puts a direct answer / short explanation. You're always allowed to ask for hint/short explanation. Anyways, let us close this discussion now... I've to go and I hope that I didn't behave badly/rudely to any of you.

----------------Thanks! ------------------

Answer 25

Answer 27
