Question

The mean of the numbers 7, 8, 10, 16, 13, and 11 is:

• A. 10.83
• B. 11.5
• C. 13
• D. 13.5

Hint:

To calculate the mean, add all the numbers together and divide by the total count of numbers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To calculate the mean, we use the formula: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of all numbers}}{\text{Number of numbers}} \] Given numbers: \( 7, 8, 10, 16, 13, 11 \) Step 1: Find the sum of the numbers: \[ 7 + 8 + 10 + 16 + 13 + 11 = 65 \] Step 2: Count the number of numbers: There are 6 numbers. Step 3: Calculate the mean: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{65}{6} = 10.83 \] Thus, the mean is 10.83.
