Example Question #1 :Probability & Statistics
Find the mean of the following set of numbers:
The mean can be found in the same way as the average of a group of numbers. To find the average, use the following formula:
So, if our set consists of
We will get our mean via:
So our answer is
Example Question #5 :Probability & Statistics
The mean of four numbers is.
A: The sum of the four numbers.
B:
Can't be determined from the given information.
Quantity A is greater.
Quantity B is greater.
Both are equal.
Both are equal.
To find the sum of the four numbers, just multiply four and the average. By multiplying the average and number of terms, we get the sum of the four numbers regardless of what those values could be.
因为数量匹配量B,回答should be both are equal.
Example Question #6 :Probability & Statistics
Mean ofis.are all positive integers.is betweenandinclusive.
A: Mean of.
B: Mean of.
Can't be determined from the information above.
Quantity B is greater.
Both are equal.
Quantity A is greater.
Can't be determined from the information above.
Let's look at a case where.
Let's havebeandbe. The sum of the three numbers have to beor.
The average ofisor. The avergae ofisor.
This makes Quantity B bigger, HOWEVER, what if we switched theandvalues.
The average ofis stillor. The avergae ofisor.
This makes Quantity A bigger. Because we have two different scenarios, this makes the answer can't be determined based on the information above.
Example Question #7 :Probability & Statistics
Ifand are positive integers frominclusive, then:
A: The mean of
B: The mean of
Quantity A is greater
Quantity B is greater
Both are equal
Can't be determined from the information above
Can't be determined from the information above
Let's add each expression from each respective quantity
Quantity A:
Quantity B:
Sincewe will letand. The sum of Quantity A isand the sum of Quantity B is also. HOWEVER, ifwas, that means the sum mof Quantity B is. With the same number of terms in both quantities, the larger sum means greater mean. First scenario, we would have same mean but the next scenario we have Quantity B with a greater mean. The answer is can't be determined from the information above.
Example Question #8 :Probability & Statistics
约翰选择一组7和5个数字decides to find the average. The set has.
A: John averages the five numbers he picked from the set.
B:
Quantity A is greater
Can't be determined from the information above
Both are equal
Quantity B is greater
Quantity B is greater
To figure out which Quantity is greater, let's find the highest possible mean in Quantity A. We should pick thebiggest numbers which are. The mean is. This is the highest possible mean and since Quantity B isthis makes Quantity B is greater the correct answer.
Example Question #9 :Probability & Statistics
Find the mean.
To find the mean, add the terms up and divide by the number of terms.
Example Question #10 :Probability & Statistics
Findif the mean ofis.
To find the mean, add the terms up and divide by the number of terms.
Then add the numerator.
Cross-multiply.
Subtracton both sides.
Example Question #1 :Statistics
If average ofandisandiswhat is the average of?
If the average ofandis, then the sum must be.
If we add the sum ofwe getor.
To find the average of the three terms, we divideandto get.
Example Question #1 :Mean
What is the average of the first ten prime numbers?
The first ten prime numbers are. Prime numbers have two factors:and the number itself. Then to find mean, we add all the numbers and divide by.
Example Question #3 :Statistics
If the average of seven consecutive numbers is, what is the value of the second number in the set?
There are two methods.
Method 1:
Since the average ofconsecutive number is, we can express this as:
Cross-multiply
Subtracton both sides then divide both sides by
Since we are looking for the second term, just plug into expression. That means answer isor.
Method 2:
Since the average ofconsecutive number is, this means the median is also. Consecutive means one after another and with each term having the same difference, we know the mean equals the median. Since there areterms, the median will haveterms left and right of it. Then, the series will go. The second term is.
