Answer 2

Given data: -5, 12, 24, 46, 60.

To Find: The arithmetic mean for the numbers -5, 12, 24, 46, 60.

Solution:

To find the arithmetic mean, all the numbers must be added and divided by the total number of values.

Arithmetic mean is of the form, $a+b+c+d...$ divide by n , where a, b, c, d are the values and n is the total number of values.

Consider the given numbers, -5, 12, 24, 46, 60.

Now, add all the values and divide by the total number of values, here total number of values is 5.

$=\frac{-5+12+24+46+60}{5}$

$=\frac{-5+142}{5}$

$=\frac{137}{5}$

$=27.4$

Therefore, the arithmetic mean for the following numbers -5, 12, 24, 46, 60 is 27.4
