Question

6 3 1 3 6
1 2 3 4 5
Use the mean to find the balancing point of the given dataset in the graph.

(1 point)
The balancing point of the dataset is BLANK.

Answer 1

To find the balancing point (mean) of the given dataset, we first need to calculate the mean of the numbers provided.

The dataset is: 6, 3, 1, 3, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

1. Sum the numbers:
\[
6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 34
\]

2. Count the numbers in the dataset:
There are 10 numbers.

3. Calculate the mean:
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{sum of the numbers}}{\text{count of the numbers}} = \frac{34}{10} = 3.4
\]

Therefore, the balancing point of the dataset is **3.4**.
