3. Find the mean and range of the following data. 14, 14, 15, 15, 16, 15, 15, 16

A 15; 15
B 12; 15
C 12; 2
D 15; 2

D: 15 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean

To find the mean, or average, add up all the values in the data set,then divide by the number of values in the data set.

1. Add up all the values

Values: 14, 14, 15, 15, 16, 15, 15, 16

Add them :14+14+15+ 15+16+15+15+16=120

120

2. Divide by the number of values

Count how many numbers are in the data set. In this case there are 8. Divide 120 by 8.

120/8=15

The mean is 15

Range

To find the range, subtract the smallest number in the set from the biggest number in the set.

14, 14, 15, 15, 16, 15, 15, 16

Biggest number: 16

Smallest number: 14

biggest-smallest

16-14=2

The range is 2

Therefore, the answer is D: 15 and 2

12.5 feet
