Answer to Problem 9CYU
Mean would best represent the data and the mean of the data is approximately 15.3.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The number of order of new bread type taken each day is 10, 16, 14, 13, 17, 15, 18, 16, 19.
Calculation:
First list the value from least to greatest:
10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16, 17, 18, 19.
Since, the data set has no outliers so mean would best represent s the data.
Also, mean is the sum of the data divided by total number of data. Therefore,
Hence,
Mean would best represent the data and the mean of the data is approximately 15.3.
