Question

What is the arithmetic mean of the following numbers?
10.6, 4, 4, 6, 4,1

Answer 1

The mean is 4.93333 (3 is repeating)

Explanation

So mean is just the sum of the numbers divided by the number of terms
So we would solve this by adding up all terms as shown here

10.6 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 29.6 = sum

Then we will divide the sum by the number of terms which is 6 in this case to get our mean as shown here

29.6 / 6 = 4.9333

The mean is 4.9333 (3 is repeating)
