Answer 1

Answer:

Average strength of bond = 8.08 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data;

11.5  12.1  9.9  9.3  7.8  6.2  6.6  7.0  13.4  17.1  9.3  5.6  5.7  5.4  5.2  5.1  4.9  10.7   15.2  8.5  4.2  4.0  3.9  3.8  3.6  3.4  20.6  25.5  13.8  12.6  13.1  8.9  8.2  10.7  14.2  7.6  5.2  5.5  5.1  5.0  5.2  4.8  4.1  3.8  3.7  3.6  3.6  3.6

Find:

Average strength of bond

Computation:

Average mean = Sum of all observation / Number of observation

Average strength of bond = [11.5 + 12.1 + 9.9 + 9.3 + 7.8 + 6.2 + 6.6 + 7.0 + 13.4 + 17.1 + 9.3 + 5.6 + 5.7 + 5.4 + 5.2 + 5.1 + 4.9 + 10.7 +  15.2 + 8.5 + 4.2 + 4.0 + 3.9 + 3.8 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 20.6 + 25.5 + 13.8 + 12.6 + 13.1 + 8.9 + 8.2 + 10.7 + 14.2 + 7.6 + 5.2 + 5.5 + 5.1 + 5.0 + 5.2 + 4.8 + 4.1 + 3.8 + 3.7 + 3.6 + 3.6 + 3.6] / 48

Average strength of bond = [387.8] / 48

Average strength of bond = 8.0791

Average strength of bond = 8.08 (Approx.)
