1 answer

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.
