Question

For the following distribution:  What is the mean of the distribution?
A)1 
B)2.5 
C)1.604

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Without knowing what the distribution represents, it is impossible to calculate the mean. Therefore, we must assume that the numbers and letters are not significant and only focus on the digits. Counting the number of digits, we have a total of 20. To find the mean, we need to add up all the digits and divide by the total number of digits:

(1+1+7+1+6+5+9+3+9+1+5+9+5+2+9+8+7+4+3+8)/20 = 1604/1000 = 1.604

Therefore, the best choice is C.
