section 3.3 homework score: 2/8 answered: 2/8 question 3 here is a frequency - distribution table for a small data set: data value frequency 11 7 12 2 13 5 14 3 15 6 find the mean ($\bar{x}$) = (please show your answer to one decimal)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate the sum of the products of data values and their frequencies
[ \begin{align*} &(11\times7)+(12\times2)+(13\times5)+(14\times3)+(15\times6)\ =&77 + 24+65 + 42+90\ =&298 \end{align*} ]
Step2: Calculate the total frequency
[7 + 2+5 + 3+6=23]
Step3: Calculate the mean
The formula for the mean $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}x_if_i}{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}f_i}$, where $x_i$ are data - values and $f_i$ are their frequencies. So $\bar{x}=\frac{298}{23}\approx12.9565\approx13.0$
Answer:
$13.0$
