Choosing the right method for finding the mean weight of apples.
Answer to Problem 1QQ
Solution:
As per definition mean is defined to be total of data points divided by number of data points.
In order to find the mean weight of apple so simply find the total weight of all the apples and divide by the number of apples. Which shows that option b is a correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
We have been given three different methods of finding the mean and we have to find the correct method the given methods are as follows.
Mean weight of apples means averaging of weights of apples, all the apples are not of same weight they vary in weight, so to find one weight that is representative of all other weights, find the weight of all the apples and divide by total number of apples and the output will be called as mean.
Formula used:
Mean =
Calculation:
For example the weight of all the apples in barrel is 42 kg and total number of apples are 400 so average (mean) weight will be
Mean = = 0.105 Kg.
Conclusion:
Mean is called an average and in order to find the mean (average) divide the total weight of data points by the total number of data point.
