5. Dipak is trying to find the typical month the students in his class were born. He starts by numbering the months 1
through 12 and compiling his data set, as shown below.
1,4,5,6,7,7,8,9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12
He adds all the numbers up to get a total of 106, then divides by 14 to get 8. Dipak says the average month his
classmates were born in is August.
Does Dipak's strategy and answer make sense? Explain your reasoning
