Answer 2

The mean of the set is $\frac{5}{18}$.

What is mean?

'The arithmetic mean is found by adding the numbers and dividing the sum by the number of numbers in the list.'

According to the given problem,

Total of the given numbers = $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{7}{18}$

                                             = $\frac{12+3+12+9+14}{36}$

                                             = $\frac{50}{36}$

Now, number of values = 5

Mean = $\frac{Sum of the values}{Number of values}$

⇒ Mean  = $\frac{\frac{50}{36} }{5}$

⇒ Mean = $\frac{5}{18}$

Hence, we can conclude that the mean of the following set is $\frac{5}{18}$.
