Answer:
The mean length of the 13 people's big finger is 15.45 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
mean length of 4 childrens' big finger, x' = 14cm
mean length of 9 adults' big finger is 16.1cm, x'' = 16.1cm
Let the total length of the 4 childrens' big finger = t
[tex]x' = \frac{t}{n} \\\\x' = \frac{t}{4}\\\\t = 4x'\\\\t = 4 *14\\\\t = 56 \ cm[/tex]
Let the total length of the 9 adults' big finger = T
[tex]x'' = \frac{T}{N} \\\\x'' = \frac{T}{9}\\\\T = 9x''\\\\T = 9*16.1\\\\T = 144.9 \ cm[/tex]
The total length of the 13 people's big finger = t + T
= 56 + 144.9
=200.9 cm
The mean length of these 13 people's big finger;
x''' = (200.9) / 13
x''' = 15.4539 cm
x''' = 15.45 cm (2 DP)
Therefore, the mean length of the 13 people's big finger is 15.45 cm
