Answer:
3) 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is just another word for average.
Add up all the numbers.
12+3+3+4+8 = 30
Divide by the number of numbers.
30/5 = 6
The mean is 6.
The mean of the set of numbers 12, 3, 3, 4, and 8 is calculated by adding the numbers to get a sum of 30, and then dividing by the count of numbers, which is 5, resulting in a mean of 6. So, the correct option is 3.
To determine the mean of a set of numbers, you sum up all the numbers in the set and then divide that sum by the total count of numbers. In this instance, we are finding the mean of the numbers 12, 3, 3, 4, and 8. First, we calculate the total sum of these numbers. 12 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 8 = 30.
Next, since there are 5 numbers in the set, we divide the total sum by 5. 30 ÷ 5 = 6. Therefore, the mean of the set is 6. Hence, the correct option from the list provided is option 3).
