Question 1 Report

The mean and the range of the set of numbers 1.20, 1.00, 0.90, 1.40, 0.80, 1.20, and 1.10 are m and r respectively. Find m + r
Answer Details
To find the mean of a set of numbers, we add up all the numbers in the set and divide by the total number of numbers. To find the range, we subtract the smallest number from the largest number in the set. In this case, we have the set of numbers: 1.20, 1.00, 0.90, 1.40, 0.80, 1.20, and 1.10. To find the mean, we add up all the numbers and divide by 7 (the total number of numbers in the set): mean = (1.20 + 1.00 + 0.90 + 1.40 + 0.80 + 1.20 + 1.10) / 7 = 1.14 To find the range, we subtract the smallest number (0.80) from the largest number (1.40): range = 1.40 - 0.80 = 0.60 Therefore, m + r = 1.14 + 0.60 = 1.74. So the correct answer is 1.69.
