Calculate the mean for the following sample data set: 
A) 5 
B) 151 
C) 9 
D) 15.1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the mean, we need to add up all the values and divide by the number of values. The sum of the values in the given data set is:
11 + 86 + 3 + 5 + 247 + 132 + 170 + 138 + 58 + 62
= 912
There are 10 values in the set, so the mean is:
912 / 10 = 91.2
Therefore, the best choice is D, which is the closest to the calculated mean of 91.2 after rounding to one decimal place: 15.1.
