Question

Susan randomly selected a sample of plants to determine the average height of the total 35 plants in her garden. She measured the heights (in inches) of 12 randomly selected plants and recorded the data:

1.0, 1.4, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.5, 4.2, 4.5, 4.8, 5.0, 5.3, 6.0
What is the sample mean of the heights of the plants in Susan's garden?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample mean basically means that we need to find the average of the samples.

So the formula for finding average is

Number of observations/ Number of Occurrences

So when we add the values together we get

42.

So there are 12 numbers

So, 42/12 =

3.5 inches
