Question

what is the mean of the following data values?
22, 37, 49, 15, 82
a. 41
b. 37
c. 27
d. 31

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the sum of data values

$$22 + 37+49 + 15+82=205$$

Step2: Calculate the number of data values

There are \(n = 5\) data values.

Step3: Calculate the mean

The formula for the mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}x_{i}}{n}\), so \(\bar{x}=\frac{205}{5}=41\)

Answer:

A. 41
