Question

Find the mean of the integers -54 -32 -70 -25 -65 -42

Answer 1

I believe the answer is -48

Answer 2

Answer:  The required mean is -48.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the mean of the following integers :

-54, -32, -70, -25, -65, -42

We know that

the mean of a set of integers is equal to the sum of the integers divided by the number of integers.

Here, the sum of the integers is given by

$S=-54+(-32)+(-70)+(-25)+(-65)+(-42)=-288$

and the number of integers is

$n=6.$

Therefore, the mean of the given integers is

$m=\dfrac{S}{n}=\dfrac{-288}{6}=--48.$

Thus, the required mean is -48.
