To calculate the mean of the dataset (5, 5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 100, 120), follow these steps:
-
Add all the numbers together: \( 5 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 100 + 120 = 400 \)
-
Count the number of values in the dataset: There are 10 values.
-
Divide the sum by the number of values to find the mean: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{400}{10} = 40 \]
The mean of the dataset is 40.
