Question

find the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the data set.
7, 15, 9, 5, 11, 8, 13, 4, 19, 9
the mean is (\bar{x} = square).
(round to two decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the data set

The data set is \( 7, 15, 9, 5, 11, 8, 13, 4, 19, 9 \).

Step2: Calculate the sum of the data

Sum \( = 7 + 15 + 9 + 5 + 11 + 8 + 13 + 4 + 19 + 9 \)
\( = 7 + 15 = 22 \); \( 22 + 9 = 31 \); \( 31 + 5 = 36 \); \( 36 + 11 = 47 \); \( 47 + 8 = 55 \); \( 55 + 13 = 68 \); \( 68 + 4 = 72 \); \( 72 + 19 = 91 \); \( 91 + 9 = 100 \).

Step3: Find the number of data points

There are \( n = 10 \) data points.

Step4: Calculate the mean

Mean \( \bar{x} = \frac{\text{Sum}}{n} = \frac{100}{10} = 10.00 \) (Wait, wait, let's recalculate the sum correctly. Wait, 7+15=22, 22+9=31, 31+5=36, 36+11=47, 47+8=55, 55+13=68, 68+4=72, 72+19=91, 91+9=100? Wait, no, 7+15=22, 22+9=31, 31+5=36, 36+11=47, 47+8=55, 55+13=68, 68+4=72, 72+19=91, 91+9=100? Wait, 7+15=22, 22+9=31, 31+5=36, 36+11=47, 47+8=55, 55+13=68, 68+4=72, 72+19=91, 91+9=100. Wait, but let's check again: 7,15,9,5,11,8,13,4,19,9. Let's add them one by one: 7 + 15 = 22; 22 + 9 = 31; 31 + 5 = 36; 36 + 11 = 47; 47 + 8 = 55; 55 + 13 = 68; 68 + 4 = 72; 72 + 19 = 91; 91 + 9 = 100. So sum is 100, n=10. So mean is 100/10 = 10.00? Wait, but maybe I made a mistake in addition. Let's add again: 7+15=22, 22+9=31, 31+5=36, 36+11=47, 47+8=55, 55+13=68, 68+4=72, 72+19=91, 91+9=100. Yes, sum is 100. So mean is 10.00. Wait, but let's check the numbers again: 7,15,9,5,11,8,13,4,19,9. Let's list them: 4,5,7,8,9,9,11,13,15,19. Now sum: 4+5=9, 9+7=16, 16+8=24, 24+9=33, 33+9=42, 42+11=53, 53+13=66, 66+15=81, 81+19=100. Yes, same sum. So mean is 100/10 = 10.00. Wait, but the problem says "Round to two decimal places as needed". So 10.00.

Answer:

\( \bar{x} = \boxed{10.00} \)
