Question

determine the mean of the following:
12, 14,18, 16, 14, 16 mean =

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the numbers

Add the given numbers: \(12 + 14 + 18 + 16 + 14 + 16\)
\(12+14 = 26\), \(26+18 = 44\), \(44+16 = 60\), \(60+14 = 74\), \(74+16 = 90\)

Step2: Divide by the count

There are 6 numbers. So, mean \(=\frac{90}{6}=15\)

Answer:

15
