Explanation

Ex = 10 +8 +5 +11 +12 + 9 + 6 +3 +15 +23= 102 4/3 n = 10Hence, mean, x = Ex / n= 102 /10 = 10.2To find the mean of a set of numbers, you add up all the numbers and then divide by the total number of values.Mean = (10 + 8 + 11 + 12 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 15 + 23) / 9Mean = 107 / 9Mean ≈ 11.89Therefore, the mean of the given set of numbers is approximately 11.89.
