What is the mean of the following data set?

Question

3, 4, 7, 10

Answer 1

To find the mean of a data set, add up all the numbers in the set and then divide the sum by the total number of values.

In this case, the sum of the numbers in the set is 3 + 4 + 7 + 10 = 24.

Since there are 4 numbers in the set, the mean is 24 divided by 4, which is 6.

Therefore, the mean of the data set 3, 4, 7, 10 is 6.
