Answer 1

The number 5 is closest to the mean of the distribution, option (B) is correct.

What is mean?

It is defined as the single number that represents the mean value for the given set of data or the closed value for each entry given in the set of data.

From the histogram:

2, 6, 4, 2, 0, 1, 6, 4, 2, 1

The sum of the above data = 28

= 2×1+6×2+4×3+2×4+0×5+1×6+6×7+4×8+2×9+1×10

= 2+12+12+8+6+42+32+18+10

= 142

Mean = 142/28

= 5.07

Thus, the number 5 is closest to the mean of the distribution option (B) is correct.
