n = 7
\overline{x} = 13
s = 0

what does the value n mean?

a. the number of values in the sample data set.
b. the difference between all the values in the sample data.
c. the range of the sample data set.
d. the mean of the sample data set.

this means there should be 7 values in the sample data set.

what does the value \overline{x} mean?

b. the range of the sample data set.
c. the difference between all the values in the sample data.
