The mean as a balance point The (incomplete) histogram for a sample consisting of n 6 scores is show represented as boxes sitting on a seesaw, but one of the scores is missing from the graph. When all sitting on the seesaw, it is balanced (rests level) when it pivots at a point equal to the sample mean M n on the following graph. The scores are six scores are Missing Score Clear All The sample mean is M Complete the following table for the five scores that are displayed on the graph. Score Distance from the Mean

Explanation / Answer

Since it is given that the mean balances the scores i.e. we need to take 6th value such that the sum of deviations from mean would be 0.

If we take x = 1 then:

Mean = (1 + 1 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 8)/6 = 30/6 = 5

Sum of deviations from mean = 0

Hence,

Missing score = 1

The sample mean M = 5

x = 1: 4 points below the mean

x = 6: 1 point above the mean

x = 7: 2 points above the mean

x = 7: 2 points above the mean

x = 8: 3 points above the mean

The total distance below the mean = 8

The total distance above the mean = 8
