Asked by ;D hi! Can U help pls?

Does finding the mean of this set of data make sense?
8.59, 10.3, 10.67, 12.5, 27

Explain!
Answered by I Know
(8.59 + 10.3 + 10.67 + 12.5 + 27)/5 = 13.812 , not 13.924

The outlier of 27 should be questioned.

Yes, finding the mean of this set of data makes sense. The mean is the average of all the numbers in the set, and it can be calculated by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the number of numbers in the set. In this case, the mean would be 13.924.
