2) 12, 15, 7, 9, 10, 17

3) 3, 5, 7, 15, 17, 19, 21

4) 20, 32, 26, 22, 27, 30, 28, 21

5) 30, 35, 29, 34, 37, 40, 43, 36, 38

Answer 1

1) 2, 5, 7, 3, 9

$\text{Mean} =\dfrac{\text{sum of observation}}{\text{Total Observation}}=\dfrac{2+5+7+3+3+9}{5}=\dfrac{26}{5}=5.2$

2) 12, 15, 7, 9, 10, 17

$\text{Mean} =\dfrac{\text{sum of observation}}{\text{Total Observation}}=\dfrac{12+15+7+9+10+17}{6}=\dfrac{70}{6}=11.66$

3) 3, 5, 7, 15, 17, 19, 21

$\text{Mean} =\dfrac{\text{sum of observation}}{\text{Total Observation}}=\dfrac{3+5+7+15+17+19+21}{7}=\dfrac{87}{7}=12.42$

4) 20, 32, 26, 22, 27, 30, 28, 21

$\text{Mean} =\dfrac{\text{sum of observation}}{\text{Total Observation}}=\frac{20+32+26+22+27+30+28+21}{8}=\dfrac{206}{8}=25.75$

5) 30, 35, 29, 34, 37, 40, 43, 36, 38

$\text{Mean} =\dfrac{\text{sum of bservation}}{\text{Total Observation}}=\frac{30+35+29+34+37+40+43+36+38}{9}=\dfrac{322}{9}=35.77$
