A symmetric distribution with a large number of values has a minimum value of 90.2 and a maximum value of 101.4. Estimate the mean of the distribution.

Answer 1

To estimate the mean of the distribution, we can use the formula for calculating the mean of a symmetric distribution:

Mean = (Minimum Value + Maximum Value) / 2

Plugging in the values we have:

Mean = (90.2 + 101.4) / 2
Mean = 191.6 / 2
Mean = 95.8

Therefore, the estimated mean of the distribution is 95.8.
