The ratio of the sum of the values of a data set to the total number of values in the data set is that data set's mean.The mean of the considered data set (2, 6, 7, 9, 9, 9) is given by: Option B: 7
How to find the mean of a data set?
Mean is the ratio of the sum of the values of the data set to the total number of values available in the data set.
Thus, we get;
[tex]\rm Mean = \dfrac{\text{Sum of the observations of the data set}}{\text{Total number of observations}}[/tex]
For this case, we're given the data set 2, 6, 7, 9, 9, 9
There are total 6 observations in this data set.
The sum of these observations is:
2+6+7+9+9+9 =42
Thus, we get:
[tex]\rm Mean = \dfrac{\text{Sum of the observations of the data set}}{\text{Total number of observations}} = \dfrac{42}{6} = 7[/tex]
Thus, the ratio of the sum of the values of a data set to the total number of values in the data set is that data set's mean.The mean of the considered data set (2, 6, 7, 9, 9, 9) is given by: Option B: 7
