Answer:
[tex]Mean = 5.6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]7,4,6,4,7[/tex]
Required
Determine the mean
Mean is calculated as thus;
[tex]Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
Where n is the number of observation;
In this case;
[tex]n = 5[/tex]
and [tex]\sum x[/tex] is the sum of the observations
The expression becomes
[tex]Mean = \frac{7+4+6+4+7}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Mean = \frac{28}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Mean = 5.6[/tex]
Hence, the mean of the population is 5.6
