Question

One of the most popular products sold by a manufacturer of electrical fuses is the standard 30-ampere fuse used by electrical contractors in the construction industry. The company has tested a simple random sample of 16 fuses and found that the amperages at which they blew are as follow:

30.6

30.2

27.7

28.5

29.0

27.5

28.9

28.1

30.3

30.8

28.5

30.3

30.0

28.5

29.0

28.2

Given this information and assuming the data are from a normally distributed population; calculate the mean,

30.6

30.2

27.7

28.5

29.0

27.5

28.9

28.1

30.3

30.8

28.5

30.3

30.0

28.5

29.0

28.2

Explanation / Answer

We have asked to find the mean .

mean = sum of all the values / total number of values

Sum of all the number = 30.6+30.2+27.7+28.5+29.0+27.5+28.9+28.1+30.3+30.8+28.5+30.3+30+28.5+29+28.2 = 466.1

total number of values = 16

mean = 466.1/16 = 29.13125

Final answer :-

Mean = 29.13125
