Question

Each value in the data set shown represents the height, in centimeters, of a animal. 6 , 10 , 13 , 2 , 15 , 22 , 10 , 4 , 4 , 4 What is the mean height, in centimeters, of these animals?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 9 . The mean of a data set is the sum of the values in the data set divided by the number of values in the data set. It follows that the mean height, in centimeters, of these animals is the sum of the heights, in centimeters, of each animal, 6 + 10 + 13 + 2 + 15 + 22 + 10 + 4 + 4 + 4 , or 90 , divided by the number of animals in the data set, 10 . Therefore, the mean height, in centimeters, of these animals is 90 10 , or 9 .
