=2+8+12/3

=22/3

=7.33

Answer 2

Answer:

The mean of the given data will be$\frac{22}{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is$2,8,12$.

We have to find the mean of the above data set.

• As we know, the mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms.
• The formula for mean is:

       $\text { Mean }=\frac{\text { Sum of terms }}{\text { Number of terms }}$

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The given data set is$2,8,12$.  

Here,

$\text { Sum of terms }=2+8+12=22\\\text { Number of terms }=3$

So, the mean of the above data will be:

$\begin{array}{l}\text { Mean }=\frac{\text { Sum of terms }}{\text { Number of terms }} \\\\\text { Mean }=\frac{22}{3}\end{array}$
