find the mean of the data set

Question

-2,-4,5,6

Answer 1

To find the mean of a data set, you add up all the values and then divide the sum by the number of values.

-2 + (-4) + 5 + 6 = 5

The sum of the values is 5.

There are 4 values in the data set.

Mean = sum of values / number of values

Mean = 5 / 4

Mean = 1.25

Therefore, the mean of the data set -2, -4, 5, 6 is 1.25.
