Q2 of 14 Page 119

Pranalee was practising for a 100 m running race. She ran 100 m distance 20 times. The time required, in seconds, for each attempt was as follows.

18 , 17 , 17 , 16 , 15 , 16 , 15 , 14 , 16 , 15 ,15 , 17 , 15 , 16, 15 , 17 , 16 , 15 , 14 , 15 Find the mean of the times taken for running.


Sum of the time required to finish the race


= 18 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 16 + 15 + 15 + 17 + 15 + 16 + 15 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 15


= 314


Number of observations = 20




SO, MEAN = 15.7


Therefore ,


Mean of the times taken for running = 15.7
