Question

What is the balance point for the following data set? 19 80 15 20​

Answer 1

The balance point of the dataset is the mean of the dataset

The balance point of the dataset is 20

How to determine the balance point?

From the dataset, we have the following frequency table

Data (x)     Frequency (f)

15                    2

24                   1

26                  1

The balance point of the dataset is the mean value of the dataset, and the mean is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

This gives

$\bar x = \frac{15 * 2 + 24 * 1 + 26 *1}{2 +1+1}$

Evaluate the sum

$\bar x = \frac{80}{4}$

Evaluate the quotient

$\bar x = 20$

Hence, the balance point of the dataset is 20
