Answer:
Mean = 12 movies
Skills needed: Determining the Average
Step-by-step explanation:
1) We need to first understand what the mean is. It is a very important math vocab word that is used frequently.
- The mean is the average of a set of terms.
The formula for average is: [tex]\frac{S_n}{n}[/tex]
[tex]S_n[/tex] is the sum of all terms
[tex]n[/tex] is the number of terms
- The average is used widely as a good statistic for a set of data.
2) In this scenario, we are given 5 terms/numbers, and we need to find the sum below:
[tex]15+16+11+10+8= \\ 15 + 16 = 31 \text{ and } 11 + 10 = 21 \\ 31 + 21 + 8 \\ 52 + 8 \\ 60[/tex]
60 is the sum.
The number of terms is 5.
The average (MEAN) would be: [tex]\frac{60}5 = 12[/tex]
