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 of a dataset, you calculate the mean of the values. In your dataset, the values provided are:

\(2, 6, 3, 1, 3, 6\)

Let's calculate the mean:

1. **Sum of the values**:
\[
2 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 6 = 21
\]

2. **Number of values**:
\[
6
\]

3. **Mean (Balancing Point)**:
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}} = \frac{21}{6} = 3.5
\]

So, the balancing point of the dataset is **3.5**.
