Step 1

Find the mean.

The mean of a set of numbers is the sum divided by the number of terms.

$\overline{x} = \frac{1 + 112 + 1 + 245 + 1 + 361 + 1372 + 1 + 472}{9}$

Simplify the numerator.

Add

$1$ and

$112$ .

$\overline{x} = \frac{113 + 1 + 245 + 1 + 361 + 1372 + 1 + 472}{9}$

Add

$113$ and

$1$ .

$\overline{x} = \frac{114 + 245 + 1 + 361 + 1372 + 1 + 472}{9}$

Add

$114$ and

$245$ .

$\overline{x} = \frac{359 + 1 + 361 + 1372 + 1 + 472}{9}$

Add

$359$ and

$1$ .

$\overline{x} = \frac{360 + 361 + 1372 + 1 + 472}{9}$

Add

$360$ and

$361$ .

$\overline{x} = \frac{721 + 1372 + 1 + 472}{9}$

Add

$721$ and

$1372$ .

$\overline{x} = \frac{2093 + 1 + 472}{9}$

Add

$2093$ and

$1$ .

$\overline{x} = \frac{2094 + 472}{9}$

Add

$2094$ and

$472$ .

$\overline{x} = \frac{2566}{9}$

Divide.

$\overline{x} = 285.\overline{1}$

The mean should be rounded to one more decimal place than the original data. If the original data were mixed, round to one decimal place more than the least precise.

$\overline{x} = 285.1$
