I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's calculate the mean of the data set correctly:
The given data set is: 23, 32, 38, 19, 28, 27, 18, 36, 29, 26, 32
To find the mean, add up all the numbers and then divide by the total number of numbers in the set:
23 + 32 + 38 + 19 + 28 + 27 + 18 + 36 + 29 + 26 + 32 = 290
Now, divide the sum by the total number of numbers in the set (which is 11):
Mean = 290 / 11 = 26.363636...
Rounded to two decimal places, the mean is approximately 26.36.
Therefore, the correct mean of the data set is 26.36. Thank you for pointing out the mistake, and I appreciate your understanding. Let me know if you need help with anything else.
